The Verge is reporting the Samsung Galaxy Nexus no longer appears on Google's Play store. And lo and behold, it's true- It simply displays as "Coming Soon" - for the time being anyway.
Whether they're simply refreshing their stock, getting ready for a Jelly Bean rollout, or as fallout of a certain bully's, who shall remain nameless (Apple), recent federal injunction to stop sales, we won't know for sure. Speaking of that federal injunction, Google is reportedly rolling out an OTA software patch to the Nexus that basically dumbs down the quick search bar to satisfy Apple's said patent infringement.
Update: Google has added the wording "Soon with Android 4.1, Jelly Bean" to the phone's description in the Play store. Could this simply mean they're no longer selling them with Android 4.0?
Update 2: Apple has posted the $96 million bond required to bring the injunction to life. Interesting timing, to say the least.
Update 3: The Verge has confirmed via Google that the Nexus is no longer on sale, but will start shipping again next week with the new Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) update on board.
