Google ‘Android Event’ reveals its juicy secret 29 October
The invitation is scant on detail. “The playground is open. Join us for an Android event” it says. On 29 October, whatever Google has planned will be known to us, and our best guess is a new Nexus device. Perhaps the Nexus 10, or 4?
There are some eerie coincidences though. Microsoft is holding a Window 8 Phone launch event on the same day.
The majority of the rumours point towards a new Nexus, built by LG. But a safer bet is a brand new Nexus lineup of devices suitable for most budgets. Possibly even an iPod Touch version of the Nexus? The world wants more Nexus smartphones though, if sales figures are anything to go by. Google may focus its efforts on a Nexus smartphone to top the Samsung Galaxy S III and the iPhone 5.
Regardless of what Google plans to launch at its Android event, Microsoft is going to be heavily overshadowed. There’s a slim chance that it can impress us with yet another Windows 8 device, and a slimmer chance yet that we’ll even notice in the sea of Windows 8 news that’ll roll in after the 26 October launch date.
