Android 2.0 Coming to Sprint HTC Hero and Samsung Moment
Good news, of a sort: the Android 2.0 operating system is coming to Sprint’s HTC Hero and Samsung Moment, in the first half of 2010.
The announcement was made via Sprint’s Twitter account on Friday afternoon. The company said that the date of the upgrade was officially “TBD” (To Be Determined) but “roughly” in the first half of 2010.
Given the abbreviated nature of the Twitter medium, Sprint did not disclose exactly how it would make the update available. I’m not sure if a major OS revision like that could be pushed out in an over-the-air update, or if users would need to perform a more complicated bootloader operation via the USB cable.
Android 2.0, of course, is a feature of the Verizon Droid. With Google making its turn-bu-turn Navigation system available for Android 1.6 users, the need for Android 2.0 is somewhat lessened. Still, it will be a welcome upgrade for Hero and Moment users, even if they’ll have to wait months for the update
