Hurricane Sandy Forces Google to Cancel Android Event

Like Tweet +1 Share Pin It Share

Google is canceling a major Android event planned for Monday in New York City due to Hurricane Sandy.

The event was rumored to revolve around the launch of Android 4.2 “Key Lime Pie” and a 10-inch “Nexus 10″ tablet running on the brand-new OS. However, it’ll be at least a little longer before we see that Android update and tablet.

Here’s an email sent to Mashable by Google:

“We are canceling our Monday morning event in New York due to Hurricane Sandy. We will let you know our plans as soon as we know more.”

Hurricane Sandy is a Category 1 storm that’s currently moving north toward the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. While a hurricane is bad enough on its own, Sandy has the potential to combine with winter weather systems in a rare event meteorologists are calling “Frankenstorm.”

Mashable will let you know more about the Google event’s scheduling as soon as we receive new details.
