The updates have system requirements, and quite a few of those phones dont meet them.. especially processor wise.
The Iphone 3G had a ton of problems when they updated it to IOS4. It was terribly laggy because the processor in the phone wasnt really meant to run it. Thats why they had to use a gimped version. As far as the Evo getting Gingerbread.. im going to guess probably around the same time or a little after the Evo 3D comes out. Since itll be shipping with it they'll want the 3D to sale first so people will jump over to it. Just the nature of the business basically.

The iPhone 3G stopped getting updates after 4 because it could not handle the requirements of the OS, kinda like why the MT3G and such never got froyo and will not get 2.3
But that was announced and iOS is very good about updating the 3GS and 4 to fix various bugs and give new features. WP7 and Android are harder because the phones have much different specs with carrier-added things on top, the point being that if an update is "announced" for a certain date, it will usually come a month or more after, such as the Nexus One 2.3 update, or the NoDo update.
