Full-screen widgets

You can choose full-screen or smaller widgets to fill up your screen, and switch between them with the swipe of a finger.

We liked the full-screen widgets showing live updates from services like Twitter and Facebook, which gave the Hero a Palm Pre-like feel and took advantage of all that home screen real estate.

Social networking is integrated all over the UI. For example, your address book not only shows each contact's e-mail, text, and call history, but also shows their Facebook updates, profile photo, photo albums, and Flickr albums.

In the photo gallery, your phone photos are side-by-side with your Facebook and Flickr photos, too.
