Love my Hero

By greedoe - Dec 04, 2009

The Hero is a great piece of kit. I've owned it for about a week, and lusted after it for weeks before that. It doesn't come with much memory, but you can add as much as you want, in removable sticks making it endlessly upgradeable. Same with the battery.

Some of the apps are quite amazing, and the built in functionality is second to none, including the compass and the GPS.

The multitasking is simply amazing. You can listen to music (via Spotify or last.fm) while surfing the web or writing emails.

I've got everything turned on - Skype, GPS, IM, email, Twitter, etc. and the battery DOES take a pounding, but with third party taskMgr apps you can easily shut down things you don't want open.

I can't imagine what they'd be able to cram into a Hero 2.0 that isn't in this one already. Probably just a faster processor.
