We\’re not certain that this date is going to hold — things like this have an uncanny tendency to slip at the last possible moment — but we\’re a minimum of hopeful to work out some internal Sprint communication that they\’re looking to get the EVO 4G updated to Froyo as soon as tomorrow, July 30. It\’d be the fitting option to kick off the weekend, wouldn\’t it? Turns out it truly is no mere 2.2 upgrade, though — they\’re making a number of changes, too, including a number of latest preloaded widgets, a flashlight mode for the camera\’s LED flash, light-assisted 720p video, and \” improvement\” to the quality of said video capture (something we specifically complained about in our review). Unfortunately, it seems like the hotspot hack could be sealed off with this update, but that basically shouldn\’t come as a surprise to anyone. As we said, we\’re hopefully the date sticks, because Sprint has identified it as a \” high priority for competitive reasons\” — in other words, these guys should be feeling the Droid heat — but the PR is outwardly going to identify the week of August 1 as the first push, so the devices getting the OTA tomorrow might just be a completely small, select group with the intention that nothing spectacularly bad happens. We\’re pulling for you, EVO owners.
