The HTC EVO 4G has been one of the most highly anticipated Android devices since Sprint and HTC announced it back at CTIA this past March.  Two weeks ago at a launch party in New York, Sprint unveiled even more details about the phone including the official release date and pricing.  Just last week at Google I/O, Google gave all attendees EVO 4Gs as parting gifts.

If you didn't already know, Google I/O is a developers conference, so the majority of people attending are developers of Google services, including Android.  And what do developers like to do with their Android phones?  Well root them of course!  Only a few days after receiving their shiny new EVO 4Gs, a few developers did just that, and were eager to share their results with the user community.  Below you'll see a video of one such developer walking us through the process.  Enjoy!

Anyone planning on rooting their EVO come June 4th?  Sound off in the comments!
