Google Android 2.0 is still a rare sight, showing up only on the Verizon DROID and Milestone so far. HTC has confirmed it will offer it on the HTC Hero but the update is not available yet.
Now come screenshots of an HTC Hero running Android 2.1 with the HTC Sense UI. There are no details beyond what the pictures reveal (which is little). Hopefully these are legitimate and indicative of an imminent general release.
Could Android 2.1 be the end-of-year minor version update promised by Google or will there be more to it? Will HTC offer HTC Hero users an upgrade to Android 2.1 rather than 2.0? And what about other devices running older Android versions? So many questions for so few pictures…
