I know, sorry about that. Somewhere in-between the raw footage and the processed version a 20-30 second chunk of sound dropped out into the ether. I'm going to re-process and re-upload, but for now it went something like:

"The special thing about the browser is that you can access Flash video, which is a first for an Android device"

Nothing new, I know, but I was babbling

I hope they sell an unlocked version that works with T-Mobile 3G bands.

I did say that, but I don't have any inside knowledge on a US-spec 3G version I'm afraid. My gut feeling is that HTC will make one for the US market, just because the Hero is lining up to be their flagship Android device, but nothing is decided as far as I'm aware.
