[descendency]

Samsung and Google reschedule the Ice Cream Sandwich media event to Oct. 19

One has to assume the Nexus Prime will be there as well.

 

[Lucki]

Aww beat me to it hehe. But FINALLY! BRING IT ON!!!!!!

 

[Gratificulous]

Woooooooooooooooooo. That is all.

Wait.... but I thought Verizon was delaying the announcement to put blur on the phone. What about the patent war?

What happened was Apple wanted an injunction to mandate Verizon to require TouchWiz on any Android device so that Apple could in turn sue Samsung over another phone infringing on the patents of iOS. It's really kind of obvious guys. This is what caused the delay - all the hidden clues in the press releases have been pointing to it.

A US device announced in a foreign country? IMO i dont think we will see the new Nexus. Just a slide show to show off ICS. Unless im wrong? Has Verizon AT&T Tmobile and Sprint ever have a new phone announced outside the US?

Who said the Nexus Prime would only be released in the U.S.?

Thats part of my point, I dont know?? But its something to think about.

Sony Ericsson Xperia play, a verizon exclusive 3 month phone, was announced in Europe instead of USA.

Its not only a US device. The LTE version is probably destined for Verizon, but the other one is most likely for the rest of the world.

You should probably note that this is NOT being hosted by Verizon (or AT&T or T-Mobile or Sprint), but hosted by Google and Samsung - no carrier ties whatsoever!

There, you proved me wrong! Heres to Google announcing the Nexus to ALL 4 US carriers WITH release dates. Not the whole "Coming Soon" Crap.

I doubt they will announce it to all 4 US carriers at this event.
