While rooted users of the device have had Android 2.2 for some time, T-Mobile has "announced" today that the MyTouch 3G will receive the official firmware update in the near future.
Earlier in the day, HTC Taiwan noted that a few HTC devices have been updated to Android 2.1, with the firmware update expected to go live in the UK later in the month, as well. HTC Hero, Legend and Desire owners should begin receiving the update this week.
HTC also noted last month that the brand new myTouch 3G Slide would get updated to Android 2.2 Froyo, but it was unclear whether original myTouch users would see the update.
According to a leaked internal memo, it does appear the myTouch will get the update, which will add the Genius button, full Microsoft Exchange support and an updated Faves gallery.
T-Mobile G1 users, the first ever owners of an Android device, are still trapped with 1.6 unless they have rooted their devices.
