Many wireless fans were disappointed that Samsung canceled the Google episode press event at CTIA in San Diego next week.  We have no way of knowing why they cancelled it.  However, we have noticed that Samsung has made some faux pas that are in bad taste which may have contributed to their decision.

Tuesday evening (around 5:00 pm),  after the iPhone 4S announcement, we received a comparison chart from the Samsung PR team comparing the Samsung Galaxy S II to the iPhone 4S.  Most news outlets were closed for the day.  Therefore, the comparison chart wound up being published in many news outlets on the day of Steve Jobs' death, Wednesday, October 5.
