Google’s Oct. 29 media event in New York cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy

For those looking forward to Google’s media event set to take place Monday, we have bad news: Google cancelled the media event in New York due to Hurricane Sandy, which is barreling its way to the East Coast as we speak. The company was set to make big announcements, including: the LG Nexus 4, 10-inch Nexus tablet, and Android 4.2. There is no word on when the event might be rescheduled, but we’ll let you know when we hear more. Coincidentally, Microsoft also has a media event planned for Monday, but it’s in San Francisco where the weather reports are calling for sunshine. [The Verge]
