HTC Says “Sorry” to Hero Owners for 2.1 Delays
If any Android handset is the most snubbed when it comes to receiving OS updates, it would have the be the HTC Hero. The Hero was released a year ago and still runs Android 1.5, even after promises of 1.6, 2.0, and now 2.1 have been delayed and then delayed again. HTC isn’t throwing bananas at their customers like AT&T, and is instead issuing an apology for the long wait.
Tech Radar has the following quote from HTC:
The integration of Eclair on the HTC Hero took longer to develop than anticipated and we apologise for this delay.
We are committed to meeting our customers’ demand for this update.
Do you think they’ll get it out before 2.2 hits? I’m sure the mere suggestion might get Hero owners a bit nervous, but HTC wants to be sincere in their effort, so let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and cross our fingers that the update will be coming to a Hero near you sometime soon.
