HTC has announced today via Twitter that their Hero handset will be getting an Android 2.0 update. There was no word on exactly when we will be seeing the update but chances are it will be when HTC finished tweaking the Sense UI for the updated OS.

Below is the tweet:

The rumors are true! Hero will be getting an Eclair update. We ask for your patience as we update Sense for the fancy new Android OS.
