HTC Hero This October?

Looking forward to getting a new Android-powered HTC device? Well, the latest rumor seems to indicate that the HTC Hero will be released by HTC on October 11th 2009. A forum user who claims that he works for a company prepping the HTC Hero for the upcoming release has said:

I work for a wireless developer firm and I have just received word from the US carrier (cannot disclose who yet) that the release date for the HTC Hero (Android) is October 11th 2009.

The carrier is giving us specifications to develop wallpaper, ring tones and apps to sell in their market place. This is just a bit of teaser information for now. I will provide more info as allowed.
