In the wake of the death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, Samsung Electronics Co. revealed it will not introduce a smartphone based on Google’s new platform called Ice Cream Sandwich.
Samsung was expected to announce the Galaxy Nexus Tuesday, but Apple’s rival has decided to delay the launch after Jobs passed away last week at age 56 after suffering from a long illness.
“We decided it was not the right time to announce a new product while the world was expressing tribute to Steve Jobs's passing," a Samsung spokesman told Reuters.
The company has not decided on a new date for the release, the report said, citing the spokesperson.
