Well.... I didn't realize that 2.1 brings OpenGL ES 2.0 to Android, meaning that they can play 3D games and stuff. Since I am eligible to upgrade in December, I may just go ahead and sell my Pre when the official 2.1 comes out and I see games running on the Hero. N.O.V.A. and Modern Combat are just too good to give up right now. I just really doubt it could happen on the Hero because it's 528MHz Qualcomm, whereas the Snapdragon has its own set of hardware to handle graphics and everything for OpenGL ES 2.0.
Or.....if I can find a Hero for $150 or less I'll just buy one to have on hand.....hmmm.....
