And well, it looks like some evidence of an Android 4.0.3 update for the Epic 4G Touch has been spotted on the Sprint website.Needless to say, while things look good in terms of an upcoming update, we still need the official word from Sprint before we begin to get super excited.

T-Mobile and HTC announced yesterday a new Android device - myTouch 4G Slide.

This smartphone has got an 8 megapixel camera with a set of cool features, like:

• dual LED flash,
• zero shutter lag,
• Sweep Shot for capturing panoramas,
• HDR for better performance in high-contrast environments,
• improved low-light performance,
• burst shot for taking a number of pictures quickly.

As you probable know, HTC and T-Mobile are collaborating on a new device in the myTouch lineup. It is upcoming myTouch 4G Slide, which is not announced yet.

Tmonews published a couple of shots of this slider and some features:

AT&T has rolled out update that provide "increased potential data speed" to both HSPA+ handsets right on cue.

The Inspire 4G's patch will also "make the email set up process much easier," while the Atrix 4G will actually get a pair of updates which will allegedly bring better Bluetooth headset compatibility, fingerprint reader performance and battery life (which is always a plus) as well as the questionable utility of turning the Atrix into an EDGE hotspot, and a bump to Android 2.

Today Amazon has the first 4G Verizon Wireless smartphone for $70 less than Verizon is offering.

It’s not clear if Amazon is selling the Thunderbolt at $179.99 as part of a promotion or what. So, if you really want the Thunderbolt, it’d be a good idea to buy it from Amazon now in case the price goes back up sometime soon.

Also, there’s even a deal that gives you free mobile hotspot usage until May 15.

It seems like Sprint is planning to get the Motorola Atrix. And it will come with WiMax 4G.
