Definitely still Taiwanese though. =)
Of course, it'd be too early to tell whether the Hero, or, indeed, Android will become a success, but if anything, the new HTC Hero will be remembered as the device that started the custom Android experience era.
From the company that, according to Microsoft's
own statements and some simple arithmetic, makes 80% of Windows Mobile handsets comes a beautiful 'port' and of its popular TouchFlo interface but with a twist. It may be true that the Hero only sports skin-deep improvements to Android, but with the platform rapidly evolving and with
18 to 20 Android powered devices due by year's end, it is already looking like a fantastic alternative to the ageing, craptastic Windows Mobile platform that HTC has depended upon since its earliest days.
If anything,
contrary to Nokia, HTC seems to 'get' how important the User Experience is.
