HTC Hero Screenshot shows Google Android 2.1 Firmware

When Google announces Google Maps Navigation on Android 2.0 (Elcair), everyone was waiting for its release. Now, a leaked screenshot of HTC Hero showed an even better (I presume) firmware, Android 2.1. If this is true, HTC has succeeded in porting HTC Sense over to Android 2.X platform.
