The other thing that impressed me about HTC Hero is the concept of customizable home screens. The phone comes with a number of widgets that you can choose from and add to one of 7 main screens. So you can add a quick Google lookup widget, next calendar event widget, weather widget (auto-detects your location), flip-through SMS/e-mail widget, etc. It’s a lot more powerful than just having app icons on the home screen, like on the iPhone. Moreover, you can change profiles and have different collections of widgets at work, at home, in a car, etc. The video below illustrates these features.
