Samsung, Google Cancel Launch Event Out of Respect for Steve Jobs

This seems really bizarre to me. Jobs was a fierce competitor. It's much easier to visualize him yelling "WHAT? Why the fuck would you delay the launch of a product because I died a few days ago?" than to imagine him appreciating this gesture.<p>At first I thought it was just an excuse for them being late with a product or event preparations. But using SJ's death for something like that seems so absurdly disrespectful I have to discount the possibility.
