Given that the ban starts only on October 13 and Android 3.0 does not violate the relevant patents (according to Dutch news sites). Couldn't Samsung just update the firmware in the meanwhile to change the behavior of touch-based photo browsing to whatever Android 3.0 uses?
Edit: according to the judgment summary the Galaxy Tab does not violate said patents.
- pieter 15y agoYes, this is exactly what they're going to do. They've already said they'll update the firmware before the deadline to remove the scrolling behavior, so their phones won't get taken out of the stores.

- CWIZO 15y agoAs ridiculous as this is, I hope that this at least means we'll get the 3.0 update sooner to our SGSII phones ...
- buster 15y agoI don't think any phone will get 3.0 because this is the "tablet version".. 4.0 (or what icecream sandwich will be) will be the united 2.3 and 3.x branches. You'll have to wait a little longer, although Icecream Sandwich will be released soon
- veeti 15y agoAndroid 3.0 is only for tablets.
- MicahNance 15y agoBased on how long they took to upgrade the Galaxy S (Captivate) to 2.2, no. That may have been mostly due to AT&T's involvement, though.
