Screen Grabs: HTC Hero caught running WP7 on Smallville, Tess Mercer due for an upgrade

In this week's episode of Smallville, Lois Lane places a call to Tess Mercer, who appears to be packing a white HTC Hero. Oddly enough, though, it's not rocking Eclair. That's right, this Hero's a Microsoft man -- which has us wondering: what OS is Superman running? [Thanks, Rich]
