No. Nexus One is the new Google handset which runs Android 2.0, though it's made by HTC, it is different hardware to the HTC Hero (Nexus has 1Ghz processor, Hero is 528Mhz).
But you could basically look at it as the HTC Hero 2 or something like that
Ajh, I see what you were getting at. My work proxy cropped the picture :dapprove:
The nexus one is similar to that, you get a whole weeks forcast though and it's a little smaller
That's the full screen images though, can't fined a screenshot of just the widget though.

Sensorly - This is a wireless coverage map application. It's pretty cool, has downloadable maps for most providers. It gets your position via GPS, then has a search for open WiFi connections and GSM towers, records the strenght etc, then uploads it to their servers. Their servers process it all and the app downloads these overlays back and it gives you nice coverage maps for the provider you choose. http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/05/sensorly-aims-to-keep-coverage-maps-honest/
If you leave it running in the background though it chews the crap out off your battery life as it's always searching for wireless signals and uploading/downloading data and running the GPS. Nice for knowing if you'll get coverage somewhere you are going though.

Using Modaco Custom ROM 3.2 - pretty fast for day to day but bit of lag running Copilot
Its satnav, get some lag when using the keyboard to enter addresses. Still undecided between this and proper satnav as it gives funny routes sometimes.

Any idea when Android 2.1 is coming to hero, thought it was supposed to be last month, seems like the internets best kept secret.

Turn-by-turn is supported by 2.0 isnt it?
I have been using MeeboIM recently. Works great for MSN and Facebook chat as you can be logged into both in the see all the contacts in the same window

The qwerty keyboard gets much much better with use. I've come from a blackberry so that was my main concern. I'm not pretty quick on the qwerty and I've had a play with the old style phone keypad as well because I used to be rapid on my old nokia's using predictive and sure enough it's well easy to use on the Desire. I'm sticking with the qwerty though. The compact qwerty is just plain gash.
I got the turn by turn directions working today. When I searched for direction before I was hitting the "view on map" button not the "navigate" one. Job done and it's pretty impressive. Going to download the text to speech for the voice instructions. I had a look at the navigation whilst using the satellite layer and it does look very, very impressive though I'm sure it must be rinsing the bandwidth to achieve it!
So far I'm loving Throttlecopter and the Abduction game, oh and the Trap game as well is pretty good albeit quite tough.

I'm trialing a nice little app at the moment.
Wave Secure (www.wavesecure.com)
It runs in the background of your phone and 99% of the time sits there doing nothing, until you lose your phone or it's stolen.
Then you log onto the web portal and then you can do the following:
1) Remotely lock your phone so it cannot be used
2) Backup your contacts and SMS's
3) Get it to send you its current location
4) Wipe all your user data off it.
If someone replaces your sim card, it locks automatically, and displays a message of your choice (for instance telling them to phone your landline and return it).
It also can autobackup your data once a day when you plug it in to charge.
It's $20 a year for the service, but that's peanuts for the ability to track down your phone.
It actually comes as two apps. First is wavesecure itself then it comes with a watchdog process. If the watchdog is uninstalled it autolocks the phone, if the watchdog sees the Wavsecure app uninstalled, it autolocks the phone.
