In pictures: HTC Hero takes Android to new heights

Meet the summer's newest smartphone, featuring multitouch input, a revamped user interface, Flash support, and more.

Powered by Sense UI



The software is the star on the HTC Hero. Integrating Adobe Flash support and multitouch, the new Sense UI for Android adds widgets on the home screen that push content like Twitter feeds, calendars, e-mail, weather or world time.

Adobe Flash support out of the box is a major selling point for the HTC Hero. Other mobile platforms such as Symbian from Nokia and WebOS from Palm are expected to get full integration of this technology only later this year.
