Google sets the table for an October 29th Android Event

The rumor of the Google Nexus event on October 29th is all but confirmed. The search giant has sent out invitations to the press for the event being held in New York City. The invite details are limited to time, date, and place but there's some additional written text in the search field. Could it mean an open API for Google Now?

With a high degree of certainty, the event will centered around the LG Nexus 4. However, there might be additional hardware announcements, like the one that appeared on the photo sharing site, Picasa, of the Sony Nexus X smartphone, and possibly a revamped Nexus Q. Perhaps some chatter of Google TV; we doubt it though. Could Google be planning to release yet another version of Android? Key Lime Pie anyone? The event will be live streamed on Youtube.

The heat is on as the three major tech players have either scheduled events or have product launches within days of each other. Who will come out on top and own mind share? The competition is real. It is speculated that Apple will not only debut an iPad mini but also refresh a plethora of rumored Apple products. Microsoft will launch its next version of its operating system with Windows 8 and makes its re-entry into the tablet arena with the Surface tablet.
