Apple Thoughts: The Competition: HTC Hero Looks Really Slick

I have to give credit where it's due; the Sense interface on the HTC hero is quite cool. The Hero would be the first Android-based phone to feature no Google branding, and instead just running the OS. From various photos and videos around the web, the Hero looks small, thin, and light (although it still has that stupid "chin" that the Google G1 has) and this video demo of the UI is quite impressive.

It remains to be seen how well the Hero will do when it's brought to market, but it won't be long before it's labeled an iPhone killer; you can be sure of that.
