Hero users do not even see the Gallery, ours is called Albums. will it be as described but called albums, or will it be different?

If, when you get the 2.1 update, HTC sticks with the default gallery app instead of making a custom one, you might also see the degrade. but knowing HTC, they are most likely tweaking it
...
Technically how could the Hero see the degrade since the screen is only 16 bit color? I don't get that.

That too. I was unaware of what the Hero's screen was capable of.
If that's the case, then hero users won't see any difference.
Honestly, I'm using a rooted phone, I have to download that mars pic and open it in the gallery see what it does to mine.. pretty sure a 32bit fix will be present in every custom rom as soon as it is widely available.

That's cool. I just wasn't sure if it was possible or not.

You said you aren't familiar with the Hero, but isn't the Eris the same as the Hero?

Yes, but the tech side of it (how many bit color it shows on the screen) is something I'm not as familiar with.

I listened to John C. Dvorak's podcast and he reported that Microsoft killed the Courier. If you want to listen to the podcast yourself then just search John C. Dvorak in the Google Listen app and look for the 4/29 podcast.
Just thought you'd want to know.
