I say its because of the HD/RAZR/Spyder release, Googarola didn’t want to release the phone after an ICS announcement , so they politely asked Sammy to hold off till the following week.

And it will look better when the Galaxy/Nexus/DROID/Prime is announced and Samsung says it will ship out in a week vs three, from a delayed announcement. I’d personally rather hear understated rumors and be blown out of the water, than what happened with *pple.
– maybe they added a few tweaks, who’d complain? Oh, trolls

What a crappy building to hold an event like this in. I may be mistaken, but event that banner is pretty shady…

yeah that is a hole in the theory. why wait till the week before you release to decide to pull it? the only answer to that would be perhaps they are aware of some legal decision or have a sense of how their case is not going very well. all of the Android manufactures have very thin profit margins on their phones and Samsung already made a deal to pay Microsoft money for each phone sold and maybe they decided they didn’t want to pay Apple also. its all speculation at this point but the Jobs death thing is completely ridiculous.

I’ll go with a residual WiFi issue that is still not completely corrected. Maybe they are buying themselves a little extra time to make sure the “show models” at the announcement work correctly.

Exactly. “Bold claims” is all they are but I agree, right after his death they opted out, so I dont feel its due to patent crap.

It would make more sense… but….

They would have been aware of the offenses long before a few days ahead of release. So they would not have waited till they were about to roll out before realizing the error of their ways.

I don’t think this is the reason…. any other theories?

Do they know when the Nexus announcement will be or has it not been announced after the postponement?

Of course it wasn’t because of Jobs’ death. The event is still going on, Apple still sold the iPhone 4s. The story out now is that ICS violates lots and lots of patents so they pushed the release back indefinitely while they strip all the offending parts out. Is is true? Who knows but it makes much more sense than they postponed because of someone’s death.
