Google cancels Android event, the playground is closed

sandy-hurricane-630

Google was scheduled to unveil the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 on Monday in New York, but we have just learned the event has been cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy. We don’t know when the event will now take place, but Google says they will share their plans as soon as they know more. Back to the waiting game we go.

Why Sandy, why!!?? What have I ever done to deserve this? My hopes of finishing my revised draft on Monday and watching the Google event as my reward have been shattered.

Good fucking grief, just make a G+ post with the prices. Everything else about these devices has already leaked.

They JUST noticed the hurricane is coming? C’mon, should’ve been scheduled for somewhere else all along. Why not just do it online? Who goes places anymore?

God doesn’t like Google either. They’re thiefs! They stole everything from Apple and MS. Funny how they [POOgle] was also trying to steal MS’ event as well. Karma is a bitch, POOgle!

  Which company is POOgle? You start out with a rant about Google, then randomly bring in this POOgle company. Can you give us a link to their website or something? I’d like to see their products.

  Yep. And, then the event ended up being really shitty. Like they just held it in a back room somewhere.

While I can’t say I’m thrilled about today’s event being canceled, I hope everyone in the path of the storm stays safe.

Does anyone know what type of SIM card the Nexus 4 takes? Are we able to swap SIM cards from previous 4g phones and not have to worry about changing plans?
