Rumors now say European HTC Hero to get Android 2.1 in Mid-March

This week seems to be the week to announce Android 2.1 update happenings, doesn't it? In this week alone, we've seen the Droid receive confirmation that it'll be rolling out 2.1 within the week, the Cliq caught word that it'll join the 2.1 party in March, and now the European HTC Hero is being rumored to rock the wonderfulness of Android 2.1 by mid-March. And it's only Wednesday!

The HTC Hero had been rumored to get Android 2.1 in February but as the days go by, that's looking less and less likely. We guess there are bound to be problems in updating Android when the HTC Sense UI is so embedded in the software. Word on the street is that Sense is also supposed to get an update with a new 'Friend Stream' widget that brings you closer to your social networks.
