Rumour: Google To Launch Android 4.2 On 29th October Google has invited members of the press for an event on 29th October. Of interest are the words “Join us for an Android event” and”The playground is open” in the invitation — the same as when they launched Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and the Nexus 7 16 GB tablet based on the same OS. That bit of wording has sparked speculations that this will be the launch event for Android 4.2 and a 32 GB variant of the tablet. The word “play” alludes to Google’s Play Store. The rumour is also that the company will show off the Nexus 4 — LG’s first Nexus device, which is also rumoured to run the new mobile OS.
