Several rumors (here and here) are circulating that the Galaxy Nexus, despite the ban in place, will begin shipping to consumers again sometime in the coming week. According to the rumor, “Google confirmed to ABC News that the Galaxy Nexus had been pulled from its Google Play store as a result of the judge’s decision, but said it would begin selling the device again next week running the latest version of Android — Android 4.1, known as Jelly Bean.
