The launch of the much-anticipated Samsung Nexus Prime – also reported to be the debut of the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) operating system – during the CTIA Fall expo has reportedly been postponed by Samsung and Google, a couple of reports say.
Samsung and Google have reportedly postponed the launch of the Nexus Prime and the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) OS.
According to Engadget and SlashGear, Samsung and Google released a joint statement about the postponement of the Nexus Prime launch. It reads:
“Samsung and Google decide to postpone the new product announcement at CTIA Fall. We agree that it is just not the right time to announce a new product. New date and venue will be shortly announced.”
According to both sites, the statement came from the U.K. division of Samsung.
Other reports, including one from Phandroid a later one from SlashGear, speculate that the postponement of the Nexus Prime and ICS launch (“is just not the right time to announce a new product,” in Samsung’s and Google’s own words) is out of respect for the passing of Steve Jobs.
