This person called his local Staples store to confirm if they have it in stock, at which point he was told that they did. After that he went to the store, exchanged his recently purchased 8GB Nexus 7 for the 32GB model that costs $249 while paying the difference. The 32GB model, as you may have noticed, costs the same as the 16GB model previously did. So then it seems that the 16GB Model will be discontinued.
Samsung scored a victory today in court. The injunction banning the sale of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus device in the United States has been reversed by US appeals court.
According to the decision, Apple could not present sufficient evidence, relating consumer demand for the Android smartphone to its universal search patent.
Samsung made this official statement :
"We welcome this reversal by the Federal Circuit, finding that the District Court abused its discretion in ordering a preliminary injunction against the Galaxy Nexus. Today's decision confirms that the role of patent law is to protect innovation and not to unreasonably stifle competition and restrict consumer choice. We will continue to take all appropriate measures to ensure the availability of our innovative products." - Samsung
