Postponed Samsung Nexus Prime / Ice Cream Sandwich announcement

coming.. later

The October 11th Unpacked event to announce the new 4.65 inch curved smartphone, Nexus Prime has been postponed.
the reason, according to Sammy rep:

A Samsung spokesperson issued a follow up statement to CNET, confirming speculation that the reveal was postponed out of respect, following the passing of Steve Jobs. "We believe this is not the right time to announce a new product as the world expresses tribute to Steve Jobs's passing," the spokesperson explained.

speculations abound,
was it out of respect of Steve Jobs? or
because they just weren't ready? who really knows..

eitherway, it seems week of disappointing unveiling.
apple, only because anything less than iPhone 5 would've peeved off the fanboys, and Sammy since Nexus Prime announcement on the 11th would've gave those on the fence, like myself, an opportunity to decide between the iPhone 4S and the latest android superphone: Nexus Prime. well, i guess my preorder for the white 32G 4S is still a go :D
