Reading the HTC press conference from MWC

"Also, the new HTC Sense will be available in some of our existing products, like the Hero. Our current customers will get to experience those features. Thank you very much!"
so maybe this is what's taking forever, we can get android 2.1 and the new Sense, fingers crossed. Their press conference has a picture of the Sprint Hero along side everything else so hopefully thats a good sign
