Apple/Dutch Court Block SGS2 Sales in Europe Unless Samsung Upgrades to Android 3.x

BBC News - Euro ban for Samsung Galaxy phone

I suppose this means there is pretty good chance we'll see Honeycomb on the SGS2 by October.

Isnt the patent something do with the way they display/navigate photos? surely Samsung can just rush out an update?

Otherwise Samsung and Google will just have to fight this. :thinking:

I don't want honeycomb on my SGS2.

EDIT:

Samsung has already stated this ruling is pretty much meaningless, since the company is going to replace the Gallery application on all Galaxy smartphones right away. The injunction won't go into effect until mid-October, so they've got more than enough time to change the software

Just as I thought, it's an easy fix. It's mostly good news for Samsung.
