Haykuro, a user of the xdadevelopers forums, has recently published a very interesting video of the soon-to-be-released HTC Hero's user interface, which has a completely redesigned menu system, new icons and controls. We can clearly see on the video that in the settings we can log in to social networks, so the handset will offer a high level of integration of online services. It is not yet known whether the bit TouchFLO-like menu system is HTC's proper software, or is it a preview of Android 2.0 (aka. "Donut"), but it seems that the first is more probable, as most manufacturers try to make Google's open platform unique. Samsung, for example, has made its TouchWiz interface available not only on Windows Mobile handsets, but it can be installed on Series 60 Touch and Android models as well, so most touchscreen models from the manufacturer have their own, unified interface.
