Engadget is reporting that HTC EVO 4G owners may be getting Android Deuce Deuce as soon as this weekend. The blog received a whole heap of Sprint corporate slides that detail a launch plan; the plan includes an official announcement scheduled for tomorrow and code rollout beginning on August 1st. The slides also detail tons of improvements made to the phone’s software, some of which include: improved 720p video recording, Flash 10.1 support, 4-point orientation rotation, alpha-numeric pins for device unlock, and the ability to use the LED-flash as a flashlight. Who’s excited?

This is a good way to start your Nintendo news for the day. In a move that may seem confusing to some, Nintendo has come forward today and made an official announcement regarding the Nintendo 3DS — the new, handheld video game console that features glasses-free 3D technology. While there’s been plenty of rumors about when it’s coming out, with plenty of strange confirmations from Nintendo themselves (that were subsequently pulled from the record), it looks like Nintendo’s getting ready to announce the pricing and release date. Ready enough to announce that their ready, anyway.

Well, we knew it wouldn't take very long, and it didn't: iFixit's gotten its hands on Apple's Magic Trackpad and ripped it to shreds. This is one operation they're not shy about calling delicate, folks -- this thing is seriously thin and its components packed in quite lovingly. So what's going on in there? Well, besides the magical dust, they found a Broadcom BCM2042 chip, which is the same one the Magic Mouse uses for Bluetooth connectivity, and a Broadcom BCM5974 touchscreen controller chip, which also powers the iPhone and iPod touch. There is plenty to be seen in the photos at the source, and there's one more below.

Remember when Heartbeat was delayed for 3 months? No surprise here, even the Music Man himself said he was busy finishing the album last week on chat night. Leehom Wang’s new album 18 Martial Arts was scheduled for release on July 30th, but it has been pushed back to August 13th (for now), which is the same day when his movie Love in Disguise hits theaters. As a show of gratitude for the fans’ patience, his record company announced the preorder version will include an additional set of postcards from the movie.
Leehom visited Hitfm on the 28th to promote his album as the Hito star of August. The “18 Martial Arts” singer demonstrated the art of cooking by making sunny-side up eggs. Apparently, cooking is not one of the 18 arts he has mastered, as Chef Leehom was caught for his overly generous use of oil and soy sauce. DJ Ah Juan joked that she might need to go on kidney dialysis after the taste test, but she gave him high praises anyway in the end.
