Can we port this ultra cool, ultra modern Sense UI from the HTC Hero over to Windows Mobile and the Diamond? It looks just so much better the TF3D.

no cuz its for android and its not at all compatible with WM ATM, but rumors say that a WM version might be released on future devices (we will have to see how that looks compared to this version)

well a wm version would be nice...

what about getting android as the os on the dianmond to totally replace Windows Mobile? So far i have only heard of Android running on top of WM with an emulator.

NO, the HTC Android ports do NOT running as an emulation. Instead WM is used as a boot loader to start Android running. It actually very good that way because one doesn't have to give up the WM setup to test Android out. But it is definitely not an emulation...

actually you boot up android from within WinMo but when its booting, WM shuts down and Android is only running.
