I take it so. At this point I guess our nexii devices would be worth a good penny to someone wanting one RIGHT NOW.

You don't win any awards for getting your competition banned, you lose customers. You win customers over by proving that your product is better or by making it better, not by eliminating competition.

Re: "Apple lands preliminary ban against Samsung Galaxy Nexus."
I wouldn't let this ban really trouble anyone too much for a few key reasons:
1. To most consumers, the Nexus is just another Android phone. They don't get the difference between vanilla Android and the skins that OEMs put on top. If they were planning on buying this, they are just going to purchase their second option. Also, idk how well this phone sold, but judging by the numbers on the SGS3, the Nexus is the wrong target.
2. By definition, Samsung did infringe on Apple's patents. However, in the months to come, judges are going to begin ignoring these cases, and begin looking to the USPTO to stop granting these vague patents. Also, this is a boon for OEMs, MS, and Google. If such vague stuff can get a ban, then these companies will see that they can do the same silly tactics to get each other banned. Eventually, a (reluctant) agreement may be reached.
3. The GS3 will probably be avoided by Apple. The bond that will have to be posted due to all the pre-sales will be several billion dollars. If your plan was to get the new Galaxy, no worries.
4. Expect a backlash from Google and OEMs. Maybe not for the release of this iPhone but if the litigation doesn't stop, Google will become fed up. Apple does not need one of its profitable products banned, since only two of its products sell like hotcakes (iPad and iPhone).
5. EU and Aus/NZ judges are starting to ignore litigation on software patents. On other forums, I have read that most cases involving software patents in Aus/NZ are not even heard anymore.
Unfortunately, the average consumer knows absolutely nothing about all of these patent wars. Reason is, most of the phones that are being restricted are "just another Android phone." Expect that if the same ban is brought down on the SGS3, there will be a much larger public outcry.

No, they have not been pulled. Not as of now, anyway. You can still buy them from Verizon and Best Buy and Amazon and I'm sure many other places.

Re: "Apple lands preliminary ban against Samsung Galaxy Nexus."
Yeah, Samsung appealed, but they LOST the appeal.
US judge denies Samsung's request to stay US ban on Galaxy Nexus | The Verge
Almost immediately after learning of Federal Judge Lucy Koh's order granting Apple's request for a preliminary injunction on Galaxy Nexus devices, Samsung filed a motion to stay the ban ? primarily until the appellate court could consider the merits of its appeal. Judge Koh has now issued an order denying Samsung's request, thus ensuring the injunction will remain in place for the time being. It looks like all Apple needs to do is post the $96 million bond for the injunction to come to life ? a small monetary hurdle for the Cupertino company.
Samsung's request for a stay was a bit of a longshot, especially given Judge Koh's unwillingness to grant a similar request by Samsung last week relating to the injunction on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. After all, such a stay would require the judge to disagree with the reasoning she provided to justify the injunction in the first place ? from just a few days ago. That's just not going to happen very often.

Google is working quickly to release a software patch to its Galaxy Nexus handset in order to avoid a preliminary injunction sales ban in the US.

Not quite. They were denied a motion to stay the injunction until an appeal is heard by the federal circuit court. An appeal is still on going.

Curious about the same. Is the CDMA version also banned?

Re: "Apple lands preliminary ban against Samsung Galaxy Nexus."
I could'nt wait so I "GOOGLED" it....
Apple sued for patent protection on the following software features:
1. A means of detecting and marking up data like a phone number or an e-mail address, and then initiating a phone call or an e-mail when the linked data is clicked
2. A means of searching multiple databases and sources for data
3. A slide to unlock feature
4. An autocorrect-type function that completes the word as a user types and allows the user to accept or reject the word
If this is true, they could've sued years ago, not looking good.
I just went to Amazon for sh#ts and put an Unlocked Galaxy Nexus in my basket and all went smoothly, nothing, or no warnings of it being UNAVAILABLE, but then again I didn't buy the phone so who knows, It might just be a Google Play MArket ban.

Re: "Apple lands preliminary ban against Samsung Galaxy Nexus."
It was the search function that ultimately caused the ban.

Let's not mention the absolute insanity of how broken our patent system is that Apple can be awarded patents for such vague and all-encompassing features as you see above..
