Samsung Epic 4G getting Media Hub, bug fixes in OTA update

The Samsung Epic 4G will get an update to version DI07 shortly. The over the air update, initiated through settings or a notification, will provide some bug fixes and the ability to run the Samsung Media Hub expected to be unveiled tonight.
There are some useful fixes like improved running of the 3G Hotspot mode to conserve battery and use 32GB microSD cards that were formatted within the device. However, the feature that users will most care about is Media Hub, Samsung’s upcoming content distribution tool. Hub is expected to deliver eBooks, music, and videos compatible with mobile devices. The upcoming Samsung tablet is ideal for such material, but the Epic 4G’s pretty but sizeable 4-inch screen should be able to handle it.

so… still not going getting 2.2 embarrasing. Really it was expected for Samsung to mess up the galaxy s line. Not sure if the epic 4g had the GPS issues or not, but seriously, I just feel bad for owners of their devices. History predicts future performance and history is repeating itself I'm afraid.
lots of phones are still missing 2.2 and the gps was pre-launch the epic has no issues
seriosuly… i have the epic and i don't have gps problems. 2.2 is still on the way for most phones
No word on GPS? Seriously?
its fixed haha your lame
My Epic is awesome except GPS. Hope to see an update that addresses this soon.
its fixed you guys are lame
I don't know what you are smoking jhawk but the GPS is way off. Mine shows me approximately 1000ft away from where I am at and this is my second Epic with that problem. The GPS has NOT been fixed!
R u sure u have gps turned on and its not using cell towers and wifi for location. Mine works fine, right on the money
Mine works fine too, I love the Epic. I use the GPs fro several applications and it has always reported the correct location and address when it resolves it.
The only issue I have seen with mine is with 4G enabled and eand the static I get on my blue tooth headset.
Had my Epic for a week now, running 2.1. No problems with my GPS. Location has been right every time.
