We don't like to use normal communication channels but we can both confirm that Android 2.1 for the Hero will be released on December 8th, 2012. It will have a proximity sensor, a tire-changing tool, a Pez dispenser, and lots of other enhancements normally found only in hardware. Unfortunately it is too large for an OTA distribution so it will be distributed only by ESP. I'm not at liberty to say more at this time but I'm writing little clues on restroom walls around the country. Be sure to check a restroom near you for the latest news about Android updates.
