HTC is working to bring the Eclair to its Hero smartphone. However, it won’t happen overnight, as they need to make significant modifications on the Sense UI. Here’s what they said:
“Yes, we are working on an Eclair update for the HTC Hero. Because Eclair is a significantly enhanced release, it will require some time to update Sense for this new version of the Android OS. Please be patient while we work to provide you with a tightly integrated experience like the one you are already enjoying on your Hero.”
As far as other HTC Android handsets are concerned, such information (that they’ll get Android 2.0) was not confirmed. However, considering that all HTC Android smartphones rely on the same CPU, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Taiwanese company updating its older devices, as well. In any case, I’ve no doubts we’ll see some third-party hack ROMs that will make sure your Dream or Magic runs the latest version of Google’s mobile OS.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
