Compared To The HTC Hero, The IPhone’s Materials Suck
12:30AM Jesus Diaz | Yesterday I held the new HTC Hero next to my iPhone. Not only the new Android handset has a surprisingly cool design—straight out of JJ Abrams’ Star Trek or Kubrick’s 2001—but it kicks the iPhone’s material arse. Literally. More »
