Looks like we finally have confirmation that the Galaxy Nexus Prime and the Ice Cream Sandwich release, which were earlier to be released on the 11th of Oct will now be released on the 19th of Oct 2011. The event has been moved to the 19th and some are speculating that despite Google and Samsung used Steve Jobs’ passing as an excuse the real reason was their FCC clearance delays.
Either way we will have more on this shorty, and expect full coverage during launch time.
A full fist of Android Ice Cream Sandwich screenshots have made it to the leaks section today. Making it even more and more difficult for the world to hold on for the devices launch.
Check em out flavored like Honeycomb:
Google and Samsung were all set to launch their prized possession at their “unpacked event”, until Steve Jobs passed away. The company has decided to pay homage to the Technology Titans death by postponing the launch of the supposed Samsung Galaxy Device.
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.

A Spokesperson from Google later commented:
We believe this is not the right time to announce a new product as the world expresses tribute to Steve Jobs’s passing,”
Okay now that the event is not happening, does not mean that some eager individual lacking voice cannot post a sneak peek of the device (Galaxy Nexus)
The folks from Pocketnow have got exclusive pictures of the upcoming Asus PADFone. According to the images, the android phone will dock behind a Touchscreen shell with a shielded cover. Now the only thing speculating the web-o-sphere is whether this will run Gingerbread or the muti-platform Ice Cream Sandwich.
Google has just officially announced that they are working on the next build of Android that works together on all devices. In their own words “One OS that runs everywhere.” This OS will adapt to its device identifying the smartphone from a tablet and customizing itself to fit the bill properly. The launch of ICS is scheduled for Q4 2011.
