In a post on Twitter, Android’s SVP Hiroshi Lockheimer wrote, “We announced the 1st version of Android 8 years ago today. I have a feeling 8 years from now we’ll be talking about Oct 4, 2016.” Now we suppose it is his job to hype the Android train and also to hype the upcoming event, although we’re pretty sure it never really needed hyping to begin with.
However based on Lockheimer’s post, it sounds like we could be looking at more than just an announcement of smartphones and a new router. It sounds like it could have something major related to Android. During I/O earlier this year, Google unveiled Android N which has been slowly making its way to users, so it’s hard to imagine that Lockheimer could be on about that we did not already know.
In any case we guess we’ll find out in a little over a week, so remember to check back with us on the 4th of October for all the official details.
