Given that TouchFLO 3D could arguably be credited with keeping the aging Microsoft mobile platform as relevant as it has been for the past twelve months or so, that's no small lineage.

Sense is the culmination of three years of UI work, that has taken in multiple iterations of TouchFLO 3D on Windows Mobile across the years. Of course, what makes the Hero particularly special is the work HTC have done on its user-interface, under the auspices of their 'HTC Sense' project. Other connectivity includes WiFi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR with A2DP support, and of course USB 2.0, plus there's A-GPS, a digital compass and accelerometer. There's also 850/900/1800/1900MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE we're yet to hear any announcement regarding a US-spec version of the Hero.

The Hero has the same 528MHz Qualcomm processor, paired with 512MB ROM and 288MB RAM, as its siblings, together with 900/2100MHz HSPA/WCDMA supporting up to 7.2Mbps downlink and 2Mbps uplink speeds (network depending). On the inside, things are far more similar to HTC's existing Android range.
