Galaxy Nexus and other CDMA devices removed from Google Support pages

Despite rumors to the contrary, it doesn’t appear this has anything to do with the kerfuffle over Wallet , but instead centers around technical issues relating to the APK files required for CDMA connectivity and the signing of those libraries.
