EVO 4G - Already outdated?

So the EVO 4G is set to launch on Sprint's network in just a matter of days (June 4, for those with precision eyes) and now that Google has demoed and partially released its delicious frozen treat to the world (or at least those owners of a Nexus One on T-Mobile's network), one question remains - is the EVO 4G obsolete before it is even released? Some would say yes, given that the device will launch with Android 2.1 ("Eclair"). However, it may not be so wise to pass judgment on a phone that has not even been released into the mass market, as of yet. HTC may very well be in the works of updating their Sense UI to accompany the impending release of Android 2.2 and may also update the EVO 4G in a much more timely fashion than Sprint's other "savior" device, the Hero (mind the pun). Let's hope HTC gets to steppin' on this before potential customers are turned off by lack of updates - especially those who have been burned by lack of Hero updates.
