The Galaxy Nexus is available again, at least until July 12

Blair McClelland July 10, 2012 Android, Mobile

An United States appeal court has temporarily lifted the ban on the sale of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus smartphone. This follows an preliminary sales injunction, an appeal from Samsung and the court initially denying a stay on the injunction.

This means that the stock Android device is again available through the Play Store for $349, at least until July 12th. This is because the stay on the injunction is only in place while the court considers Apple's arguments and awaits Apple's response.

The phone won't ship for another week or two but this is likely due to Samsung and Google issuing a software update to circumnavigate around the patent infringements and updating the handsets to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Existing owners of the Galaxy Nexus should start to see the official OTA update soon as well.

KitGuru says: At the end of the day, a sales ban issued upon the Galaxy Nexus is bad for everyone – except Apple.

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
