The Samsung Galaxy Nexus -- which is still listed on the Google Play Devices site but was relegated to "Coming soon" status this week because of a federal injunction stemming from an Apple patent lawsuit -- should resume shipping next week, Google told ABC News.
The official listing for the "Pure Google" device now says "Soon with Android 4.1, Jelly Bean," and it had been shipping up until late Tuesday, following a federal judge's ruling that a preliminary injunction against the device would not be stayed. While Apple's lawsuit isn't scheduled to go to trial until the spring of 2014, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh ruled that Samsung was unlikely to win, and that the PI was to stand. Google, for its part, had said it had a fix in the works, so we figured any delay in shipping would be brief, and that appears to be the case.
That also means that we likely will see an update push out over the air to existing devices, though what Google intends to change remains unclear. The lawsuit stemmed from the famed infamous '604 patent (aka the "Siri" patent), which protects searching multiple sources from a single interface, and using heuristics for the results. That's what Siri does, and it's also what Google's search bar does. It's not yet known whether the search bar will be removed (a drastic measure, to be sure), or if Google will change the way it searches and parses results.
We have the search APKs so even if Google were to remove them anyone who wants them could easily readd them to Android. I don't know who would but I am sure someone might.
Apple sues pretty much every company they can... Remember how they sued the Galaxy S I for it looking like an iPhone 4? And they sued Android OS once, IIRC, for making apps that look like iOS apps.
This is why I don't appreciate Apple, they think they own everything, they try to sue anyone because of the dumbest terms, and horrible labor for the people who make the products.
The only good thing Apple has is their OS but that is it
Apple didn't make Siri. Nuance made Siri and sold it to Apple. So Apple has no legal right to sue Galaxy Nexus for having something similar. What 'tards looknig for money.

Uhm, you are sadly mistaken, and in fact just made a fool of yourself on a public forum.
Siri, Inc was bought by Apple, who now owns Siri and the Siri patent. Nuance has NOT been confirmed as being behind Siri's current incarnation, and if they are, then I'm quite sure Apple has paid the necessary licensing fees.

Google did not initially make Android sooooo your point is?
The whole nonsense of this company stole this or they stole that.
Both the IOS and Android team were mutually inspired by each other and early incarnations of smartphone OSes like Symbian.
Software patents hurt innovation.
France is slowly becoming my favorite country. No software patents pretty much all their power is nuclear so its clean.
It is not that much worse then the US then again I really no nothing about the French tax system.
Wikipedia could also be wrong.
The new president is pretty much doing what Canada does, huge taxes on the wealthy's income, which isn't bad for the super wealthy, but it hurts the grey area for the people that fit more in the area of "well-off". This isn't really the place to discuss it however.

Your post also broke forum rules. Nice job.
