An import ban on Android devices commanded by the US International Trade Commission is scheduled to take place at midnight tonight, barring a last-minute presidential veto. The ban was ordered two months ago, after a ruling that 18 Motorola Mobility products infringe a Microsoft ActiveSync patent covering meeting request publishing and group scheduling from a mobile device. Motorola claims to have a plan to keep the infringing products available in the US, and will have to pay a $0.33 "import tax" on devices brought into the country during the 60-day presidential review period.
