When we last left the saga of the HTC Hero ROM update, we were expecting it to come sometime this week. And the above leaked screen shot says that the update — which we’re hoping beyond hope is in fact Android 2.1 — will “be in stores by this Friday, May 7.” The note also says that the update will be available on HTC’s website, will wipe the phone and could cause seizures in small pets. You’ve been warned. [XDA Developers] Thanks, Sporky!
