HTC and Android fans out there here is a piece of interesting information:

“Yes, we are working on an Eclair update for the HTC Hero. Because Eclair is a significantly enhanced release, it will require some time to update Sense for this new version of the Android OS. Please be patient while we work to provide you with a tightly integrated experience like the one you are already enjoying on your Hero.”

This is from an official press release and it seems that HTC will go for Android 2.0 and it’s just a matter of HTC getting Sense ported and tested. Also, HTC mentined that they are thinking of updating all versions of the Hero.
