Google preps new devices for October reveal

Add Google to the list of companies with big fall announcements. The Android-maker and search engine giant announced late Monday that it will be holding an event on October 4 in San Francisco. In invitations sent out to media, the company was fairly vague as to what it would be showing off, though it was a bit more revealing in teaser on the company's website, madeby.google.com, Google has long used fall events to showcase its latest versions of Android, often introducing new variants to its Nexus line of phones and tablets. This year, the company is expected to follow a similar path, with new devices built by HTC said to be on the way.
