Unofficail dates where thrown around all the time, but HTC did say 2.1 for the Hero was due to be out by Q1 2010 in november. That in my mind meant end of March at the latest. June is not Q1 its end Q2 and that is if they even release it then.
When and if it comes out 2.2 will most likely be out and the next OS will be flying towards us. HTC wont IMHO do anything more with the Hero as it appears to hard to anything with it. Wonder if the new HTC phones set 2.2 onwards just as slowly.
Hmm. Yet another 'quote' from HTC regarding the 2.1 update with no source cited. I won't pay any attention to any of them until one is posted on HTC's site.
Perhaps I should start a blog and post random rumoured dates for the update and quotes with no source on it. Should get me plenty of page views .
Havent seen anything on twitter. I agree that the best policy is to completely ignore the whole 2.1 issue until the firmware actually arrives on my doorstep.
Yup, devs will always be ahead of HTC anyway. Gotta flash.. Lets figure this. When 2.1 comes out, officially, there will most likely be bugs. I mean, they've been working on it awhile, but 1.5 had bugs.. It will probably take HTC weeks if not months to release patches, which sprint or other carriers will have to approve yada yada. On the other hand, devs over on XDA can have a ROM patched and available for upgrade in 1 day. Its worth it for sure. I mean we already have fully functioning 2.1 roms for the most part..
I think the main benefit to the devs will be full access to all the components of the ROM. I won't pretend to know much about how it all works, but being able to edit/create a kernel for the hero seems to be important to them. But they can't do that until the proper release.
