   It feels like we’ve been waiting ages for the HTC Hero to arrive, but the company’s third – and perhaps most exciting – Android smartphone is finally on the SlashGear test-bench.  Packed with a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen, 5-megapixel autofocus camera and of course HTC’s Sense, you can see the full video unboxing and a UI overview after the cut.

   Excuse my maybe silly question but I see it has a capacitive touchscreen does that mean that it is as responsive to touch as the iPhone or is it more like a winmo model?

   The iPhone uses a capacative touchscreen, so yes, the Hero uses the same technology. WinMo touchscreens are usually resistive.

   And no, it’s not a silly question :)
