You have to read the Adobe/HTC Press Release very carefully to realise that it's not Flash 10 that has been released on the HTC Hero - it's a version of Flash (the exact version is never mentioned) that will play 80% of Flash content already "out there", and the version number provided by BatPenguin confirms it is a build based on Flash Player 9.

The Press Release avoids declaring the specific version of Flash being announced (I'm sure they were intentionally ambiguous for maximum impact) and then states (eventually) that Flash 10 is to be delivered "in the future".

Do you have any authoritative sources where it is stated that Flash 10 is now available for the HTC Hero (ie. from HTC themselves, or Adobe?) The blog post you have linked to is a re-hash of the Adobe/HTC Press Release but to it's credit the blog post does not make the mistake of stating that Flash 10 is now shipping on the Hero.
