We all know Samsung will rollout the Android 4.0 update for its super-popular Galaxy S II smartphone later this year. However, Sprint customers may be wondering whether they’ll have to wait longer, since their particular version of the device (Epic 4G Touch) is specific, made to sing along the carrier’s WiMAX network. Plus, Sprint (and other mobile operators for that matter) always want to test the phone software thoroughly before releasing it to the general public, the process that usually ends-up in prolonged wait time for the end-users.

The good news is that we have a proof that the Korean company is working on the new software for the Epic 4G Touch that will include the latest version of Android. The information comes from XDA-Developers’ member kc_exactly who noticed an RDF page for the Epic 4G Touch, listing an OS version of Android 4.0.3. Unfortunately, that page doesn’t tell us anything about the exact launch date, so we’ll have to wait a little longer to get that information as well. Needless to say, we’ll be scattering through the Interwebs and let you know as soon as we have something new to report on this subject…

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
