Today, though, put those peg legs away, because there will be no pirating necessary, as we’ll be looking at what this writer considers to be the top three free Twitter apps available for the Android platform.

HTC rolls out official Froyo to EVO early adopters

There’s been a lot of mention as of late about how HTC really, really wants your EVO to be running the official version of Froyo, and not the copy that was cooked up by devs and hackers. Well, it looks like HTC has kept true to their word about offering it up, as the official update is now ready for those who took it up themselves to get some soft serve Android goodness.

That’s right, the latest rollout will update version 3.26.561.3 to the official version, 3.26.561.6. It’s as simple as heading into your settings and going to System Updates, and letting your phone do it’s thing. Or, if you’re hesitant, you could always just wait for your phone to update itself.

Refer to the chart below for a side by side comparison, which also shows Blackberry users somewhere in the middle:
