Come on, guys! What’s with this question? After the sensation it created when it first appeared in the spotlight, the least you could do is to know who Hero is. Because, so that you know, HTC is so very proud about its second Android-based device and it won’t ever forgive if you act like you don’t know what the phone is all about.



And because the official announcement about the HTC Hero was not enough, here you have some extra news that might impress you even more. It seems that the smartphone that has just been unveiled will come with support for the Adobe Flash Platform technology. With full support, as a matter of fact.



The information is very interesting, you have to admit, because this way Hero will be able to ensure an improved Web browsing experience and to provide, in addition, an easy access to a wide variety of files that are based on the Flash technology.

“As the first Android device with Flash, the new HTC Hero represents a key milestone for Android and the Flash Platform. With close to 80 percent of all videos online delivered with Adobe Flash technology, consumers want to access rich Web content on-the-go”, said David Wadhwani, the Vice President and General Manager, Platform Business Unit at Adobe. “The collaboration with HTC offers people a more complete Flash based Web browsing experience today and presents an important step towards full Web browsing with Flash Player 10 on mobile phones in the future.”

In addition, HTC made another announcement related to their intense activity. It seems that the company decided to join forces with 26 other companies that are part of the Open Screen Project, one of those being Adobe. The purpose is to “deliver a consistent runtime across screens and to provide access to all Flash technology based Web content in the future”.
