Your actual source actually sucks.

The Marvell 3 core processor is so last year >.>

ARM reveals Eagle core as Cortex-A15, capable of quad-core computing at up to 2.5GHz -- Engadget

(Which allows up to 2.5ghz and quad core)..Cortex A15 comes after Cortex A9 (We are right now at Cortex A8 )..which is all those dual cored and etc that are coming out next year.

and

ARM intros next-gen Mali-T604 embedded GPU, Samsung first to get it (update: video) -- Engadget

Which has DX11 support and probably way over 200million triangles >.> (no exact number yet)

Edit: forgot...You have permission to drool...

According to my rep, there is a very good possibilty that they will release gingerbread for us. When is the bigger question. He said that because the Evo was such a big release sprint has been contemplating giving evo users the update.

Wasn't there some talk, from HTC, about putting the new sense version on the Evo? If they haven't put that out already, maybe they will just kill two birds with one stone...Gingerbread, and the new sense version

Here's the link, although not sure why this would be on the HTC Spain twitter account:

HTC Evo and Droid Incredible to receive new HTC Sense UI

The new Sense should be on the Droid Incredible HD which has 2.2..so I dont see them waiting till 2.3 to release the new Sense UI...:/

i remember when sprint had the htc ppc6600 and they said it would be upgradeable to evdo with a firmware update. It never came to be. I think Sprint will say we gave you 2.2 for free so if you want 2.3 then purchase a new headset or just jail break the device. I think sprint will say get a new device to make money off the full purchase price of the phone. I think its about time to stop discounted phones and contracts all together and sell the OS updates to cellphone users just like Microsoft does for the desktop.

After about one and half years i am back to a smart phone. I love the EVO I have the EVO:

Baseband: 2.15.00.09.01
Build Number 3.29.651.5 cl252548 release-keys
Software number: 3.29.651.5
This may have the updated Sense Ui as when i hit the home screen I get a bunch of smaller screens on the screen showing a preview of all the tabs if you will.

There were some internal rumors about the Eco getting gingerbread back when we released the epic but there hasn't been any talk of it as of late. With that being said, not all sprint reps are mindless drones. I don't know about your stores reps but I do know mine is quit knowledgeable about the happenings in the ppc world.

The Sprint store I go to.. their reps are usually on it with this kind of stuff. One of the few stores ive been to here where they can actually help you with phone problems. As a matter of fact they usually call me to root their phones, flash roms etc etc and give me cas.....oops im saying too much lol.
