The ITC has surprisingly given notice that the target date for the decision has been extended by one week. It’s now June 30, 2011. This could either be due to a delay on the ITC’s part or a way for the ITC to give the parties more time to negotiate a settlement.

The investigation began last year at Kodak’s request and the decision was supposed to be handed down today. The official name of the investigation should give you a hint into what it’s all about: “Certain mobile telephones and wireless communication devices featuring digital cameras, and components thereof.”
