Is it too early ? Google has just sent out invititations an Android event to be held on October,29th. The event will be in New York City at 10:00 AM and will be streamed live on YouTube.

 

The even purpose is to announce a new Nexus device, the LG manufactured unit that is currently known as the "LG Nexus 4" that was leaked before. There is a possibility that there could be multiple Nexus phones this year but there is zero proof to confirm that.

 

 

Also, Google will likely launch this new Nexus device with a new version of Android too, which will be Android 4.2 that has been floating around these days. Other than that we expect to hear some updates on the Nexus Q as Google pulled it off shelves and got back to working on its due to huge failure and bugs reported by users. Google could also announce the 32GB Nexus 7 that we have been hearing about recently.

Claiming that the term "App Store" has become a generic title, lawyers for Amazon are asking a judge to toss Apple's lawsuit against the online retailer for calling its applications store the Amazon Appstore.

 

"Apple presumably does not contend that its past and current CEOs made false statements regarding to those other app stores to thousands of investors in earnings calls. To the contrary, the use of the term 'app store' to refer to stores selling apps is commonplace in the industry." - Amazon

 

Amazon attorneys noted in a filing that even Apple's last two CEOs (the late Steve Jobs and Tim Cook) had used the app store phrase generically when talking about what was then called the Android Market. Apple holds a trademark on the App Store name and originally filed the suit in March 2011.
