Google just announced an upcoming Android event which happens to be on the same day as Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 event. We’ll probably see the new Nexus phone(s) or tablet(s). Do you think the timing was pure coincidence?

If you’re interested, the Android event will be held on October 29th, 10am Eastern Time. It will also be streamed live at youtube.com/android.

The Windows Phone 8 event kicks off a few hours later at 1pm Eastern Time. We don’t know if it’ll be streamed. We’re looking forward to this event to learn all about the new features on Windows Phone 8.

The first thought that came to mind when I heard about the Android announcement:

You know what would suck? If the next nexus (or nexii plural) go on sale before the lumia 920
