HTC Hero update to Android 2.1 pegged for mid-March

^ This battery bug was there only in the original 1.29 rom; It had already been fixed in the 1.56 updates...

Found an incredible software today for my hero - Google Skymap - download from market With Google Sky Map for your Android phone you can discover and browse the night sky just by pointing your phone to space. By using your Hero's orientation sensors, it can show you a star map for your location. Explore planets, stars, constellations, and more! Learn the name and location of space objects and impress your friends and teach your kids. Just tried it personally and showed my kids Mars for the first time. It searched and took me to it... Incredible... could never make out the red planet otherwise...

Many people want to play video on Hero. Here is the video converter for Hero - http://www.videora.c...erter/htc-hero/ The software can convert all types of video files (avi, divx, xvid, flv, x264, vob, mpeg, DVD's, YouTube, etc.) into the proper video formats (MPEG-4, H.264) that play on the HTC Hero. It is available FREE for Windows and Mac. Just choose phone choice as HTC Magic in the beginning, as HTC hero is not available right now. Works the same... Try choosing default iphone mpeg4 format, 320x240 resolution, this worked the best... somehow this videora was giving me error so I did the same with Aalok Video Splitter (dont have its cracked link)

^ - My N1 is coming this week; will review it for you. It supports 10 Gmail ID's in push mail; So basic question whether Android will support it, is answered. Also 2.1 for Hero is another 30-40 days away and same functionality will then be available on hero as well. - You can always download a copy from Cloud computing for your pc; Lots of options are available like Offline Mail from Gmail etc. Also 3rd party offline options are there.

^ - Push mail is one of the best on Gmail that i have ever seen. - Office editing support is available through 3rd party softwares; full view and pdf support - Video - Plays mp4 and 3GP perfectly; you must just know know how to convert to fully use video - PC Sync - Full support is available through HTC Sync; Who needs it BTW as I firmly believe Cloud Computing is the future. - BB Support - MY GOD... who needs it after Push Mail on Gmail... - Notes/Tasks - 3rd party softwares BY THE PLENTY; also inbuilt Notes support and Hand writing support - Most Excellent VOICE Search engine by Google. Further in 2.1 (on Nexus 1) you will be also able to just automatically type your SMS and Email by just reading to your phone. Excellent voice recognition in 2.1 - Apps2sd freely available on most roms - Never seen such a geek friendly phone ever. - For idiot proof phone - I suggest iphone...

^ If you are talking of the Unlimited mobile internet plan here - http://www.rcom.co.in/main.html then kindly be aware that it is NOT TRULY UNLIMITED and 5Rs/Mb NUC applies on cdma connections besides the 299/-... JFYI...

^ whats surprising?? 130Kbps is pretty standard download results on Reliance 1x...

I have shifted to AVG from Norton and its not let me down since the last 1 year and its totally free....

^ r u trying to pull my leg by referring to the adv on tv of ebay.... LOL... where the geek guy sends himself valentine gifts without any girlfriend, making everyone jealous... LOL I m married yaar.... international trading rocks for low cost items... for high cost items, a little risky....

just bought 2-3 items yesterday; it was functioning then... on international paypal as well...

Seems like Nexus One COPY on cdma is arriving this week on verizon - judge for yourself - I feel its not real N1 - its named HTC Incredible for CDMA on Verizon - http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/07/htc-incredible-caught-on-video-rocking-snapdragon-android-2-1-w/ http://gizmodo.com/5466195/htc-incredible-photos-leaked-reveal-incredibly-brown-back-plate http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/10798.html
