What is the implication if there's any...
"The playground is open" ??
Is it regarding google play? or improvements in android for better games support/ or inclusion of something similar to ios' game center??

or may be is it that nexus playground is open for many players. Samsung,Asus,LG etc...

    i c that with win8 release there will be another flame war between linux vs win.
    i understand why ppl think win8 is the next best thing after bread.:)
    but on the long run it hurts us all. open source is the way to go ppl!
    and remember kids vendor lockin is a bad thing!
    ;p

      ubuntu :P haha
      but maybe you are right, i use windows more than ubuntu
      and of course mac os can't do half what windows and linux do
      but when it comes to smartphones it's difference
      i don't want to start "My OS is better than your OS" conversation

          I bet any of you using Android or IOS can not get away from Windows. It is the case for me. I have the new Ipad and an Android phone, but still have to go back to my computer when I need to do the "real stuff". Now Windows 8 is coming. For the first time, my dream comes true. Guess what I am going to carry Windows 8 surface "pad" with Nokia Lumia 920. They are going to work together smoothly.......

            Holding an event at the same day as its competitor's launch event? WTH? Maybe google is threatened by the microsoft launch.

            Im pretty sure this event won't cloud the Microsoft event. The media is already prepairing for that big microsoft launch.

              AnonD-1667, 19 Oct 2012yeah thats true but what about other features... the file s... moreyeah maybe, on WP7-7.8, but Windows Phone 8 was cut from the same cloth as Windows 8. They share the same file system with its tablet and PC version ( windows 8 RT and windows 8).

              and reports said that microsoft is already burrying zune (maybe you wont't need it anymore in WP8).

                s, 18 Oct 2012I bet Google are really sure that they'll totally overshado... moreI'm not sure what they are coming out with, but there are millions of people waiting for mini version of the ipad. I'm not sure how google can top that, unless they come out with some sort of superphone that can defeat the s3.

                          I bet Google are really sure that they'll totally overshadow Microsoft and Apple events and gain more press interest.
                          I'd say they totally have the potential.

                                      I really love the Nexus line of devices, its like Google picking out a competitor to design and manufacture the best phone and picking the best one. I love Google and Android, can't wait for the Nexus awesomeness!
