I think android might be safe due to prior art? I don't know exactly how that works but I think apple got the patent for a slide across so I would assume it does not cover all slide to unlock atleast I would hope the patent office would not allow that.
I have a little more information. Not from The Source, but from a tester. The tester said that they received new handsets to test today. The person said that there was a slightly better spec in the new Verizon test handset.
I asked him what it was, s/he refused to tell me, even if I promised to keep it secret.
So? I have a PM into The Source for more info, confirmation. We wait.

does this mean they are still testing phones ? And thus meaning the release is getting pushed back

Should we take bets as to what it could be?
Bigger battery is one that many have asked for, along with clock speed and those two seem like easily doable upgrades.
Of course we can get into the extremes and toy with the idea of a full processor upgrade, which is pretty much a lock to not happen.

Late summer 2012? fake. Maybe the Galaxy Nexus II.

Lets hope maybe a larger battery. If they are still testing does that mean we won't see it the 10th?
Why is nobody looking at the immediate past? Does anybody really buy the Google/Nexus announcement was put off nearly two full weeks out of respect for a man who swore to destroy Android?
The 18 October rescheduled announcement timing had squat to do with Steve Jobs. Especially when the Google would much rather hype the GNex than the Razr, and you know the Google would love for this thing to be a sales buster when it is their "heart and soul". I'm suspecting this is a hardware/software issue (leaning towards hardware) that is going to cause a sliding release date. 17 Nov makes no sense. Black Friday timing makes no sense--too late. The masses are not going to line up the night before for anything but an *phone, not when there will be crazy deals on all sorts of other consumer goods. If this phone isn't out by 10 Nov, they got major development probelms, simple as that. The Google knows Big Red will be blitzing TV with Razr adds (count how many you see during Sunday's football broadcast), and if they hold off releasing the GNex, they could lose a pretty big wave of eligibles.

if that is the case that that's an bigger fail than apple did with the 4s. I don't buy it. Vzw already said later this year did they not for us exclusive release
Verizon said coming later this year which means 2011 not 2012. why would google announce ics and it not come for almost a year? Calling bs on that
The announcement was put off 8 days, not nearly 2 weeks. Google doesnt plan for it to have iphone like sales the nexus line was never that.

Ok, that flatly disagrees with the press release from Verizon form last Friday.
Not pushed back.. just taking advantage of the time they have.
I'm guessing battery, because s/he said minor spec improvement.
*cough* BS! *cough!*

Yup.
No reason why not to, although there is an unconfirmed rumor that it's moved to the 17th.

So take it your source told you the 17th?

Guessing bigger battery (per Love Tunnel) or faster spec'd processor. Processor would be the easiest because it's just code for the kernel...
