I let it rip:

Quote:

@Sprint @HTC Any ETA about the Sprint HTC Hero getting an Android 2.x update?

^Tagged both of them in the tweet.

9x out of 10, @HTC will respond back. @Sprint can be mum 90% of the time...

So today Sprint announced on twitter that the update will be released in the first half of 2010. I read this on engadget.com

Sure wish it was better news!!!

Congrats! I personally believe everyone's tweets really pushed Sprint and HTC into saying something. Power of community!

You know, I believe I saw a Sprint Commercial on TV yesterday that was showing the Hero with Sense 2.1 on it. And it struck me as odd because it doesn't have sense 2.1...

Well when Eris gets an update, flipz can use the kernel off that right?

The more the devs have to work with the better. in Windows Mobile devs would take bits and pieces from different carriers and even different networks.

What we need to do get some of the more tech popular blogs to put pressure on Sprint, and talk more about the fragmentation of Android. Sprint is a large chunck of the problem and Sprint is notorious for ignoring the consumer. Also Sprint community is joke they are worthless for campaigns like this.
