If this is the rumored HTC Hero, aka Dream 2, aka G2, it don’t impress me much. First of all, assuming the G2 doesn’t have a QWERTY keypad I would’ve thought it would have full multi-touch support. This demo uses a stylus. Right there, I’ve already eliminated this as a purchase choice. Second of all, its interface is far from attractive. It looks much to cluttered to me. Furthermore, when it takes three to five steps to accomplish a simple task I’d have to call its usability into question.
On the upside, the Hero has icon-access to services such as Google Reader and Blogger. HTC might want to remove the Google Notebook icon though considering the company just put it in the can. Granted this is just a demo. There isn’t any spoken word confirmation that this is the follow-up to the G1, and if it is there is likely going to be some changes before it’s released. But first things first–get rid of that stylus.
