I've had the hero since the 7th and I'm really happy with it. The iphone 3g-s will be faster and have more apps, but isn't as open of a platform and android is just getting started so it will catch up. The multitasking is great.

One thing to note though is that it doesn't have a proximity sensor so the touchscreen stays on when your talking on the phone which makes it easy to accidentally end the call. You can get around this by hitting the home button after dialing as then the end call touchscreen button is not longer visible which is fine because there are physical send and end call buttons on the phone.

2 must have apps are:

-locale (lets you configure you phone based on where your are, what time it is, and much more. There are a lot of other apps with plugins for local as well. Probably androids killer app at this time (besides gmail integration))

-taskiller (for when you have too many things running at once), both avaiable from the android market
