I have come from an old Palm Treo 650. Much as I like the Hero, it is not a PIM in the sense that PalmOS devices were. The calendar is OK but does not support categories (and neither does Google Calendar) and there is nothing like Memos or ToDo on the Hero that sychronises as well to the desktop.

The Android market is maturing so I am sure that alternative applications will appear over time. I don't think that there will ever be anything as simple as HotSynch for synching data and backing up the device. With my Treo I could do a hard reset and have the device exactly as it was before the wipe in 5 minutes. As I contemplate and rooting and reflashing process, I think it will take much more than 5 minutes to get my Hero back to the way is was after a full wipe.
