AllThingsD has official word:<p>In an updated statement, the companies confirmed they were making the move out of respect for Jobs.<p>“We believe this is not the right time to announce a new product as the world expresses tribute to Steve Jobs’s passing,” the companies said.<p><a href="http://allthingsd.com/20111007/samsung-google-cancel-launch-event-out-of-respect-for-steve-jobs-sources-say/" rel="nofollow">http://allthingsd.com/20111007/samsung-google-cancel-launch-...</a>
<p><pre><code> It's likely that the companies decided to postpone as a mark
of respect to rival Steve Jobs, who passed away earlier this

ORLY? Am I being insensitive? Does anyone really think that's why they'd delay this announcement?
Where are the official announcements of this? I can't find links in any of these clone-posts, and I can't find announcements on Google or Samsung's websites.
Come on, Steve was using all kinds of legal shenanigans to try to keep Samsung Android products off the market. Why are they continuing to love their abuser?
