Galaxy Nexus

Samsung Electronics' Galaxy Nexus smartphone was pulled from Google's online Play store after a federal judge denied Samsung's attempt to block a U.S. sales ban on the device from taking effect. The ban was ordered late last week as part of Samsung's ongoing patent battle with Apple, which heads to trial at the end of the month.

Apple won a U.S. injunction against sales of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus smartphone, the second such ban Apple has won against Samsung in one week. Samsung has appealed the decision in the latest tit-for-tat in the companies' long-simmering patent feud.
