[Rumor] Froyo for Samsung Epic 4G and Zio

According a tipster via Android Central and Sprint’s internal system, we could be seeing an update coming for the Epic 4G and Zio with OTAs rolling out February 21st. While noone has been able to back it up with “official” proof from Sprint themselves, this rumor has been passed around for a little while now. We all know how rumors work, but seeing the same rumor get passed around intermittently and more and more frequent seems to make it much more likely a fact. Regardless we won’t know for sure until “Old Yeller” opens they’re virtual mouth.
