There’s been talk of a Froyo update for the Samsung Epic 4G and Sanyo Zio around the internet. The date of the release that has been rumored is the 21st of February.

Here’s what you can be looking forward to (if it happens):

Software Updates: Samsung Epic (EB13, Froyo) & Sanyo Zio (2.200SP, Froyo)
Effective 2/21/11, software updates will be available for both devices
Over-the-Air (OTA). Both updates will be pushed over a period of days, so
customers will receive them based on their status on the Google servers.
