Google sent invitations to the press Wednesday for an Android event in New York on Oct. 29. The invitations didn't disclose what exactly would take place, though the tagline, "The playground is open," suggest the event will have to do with Google Play, the recently rebranded Android Market.
The event will take place at 10 a.m. ET at Basketball City at Pier 36 in Manhattan. If you didn't receive an invitation, Google will help you stay up to speed on the news, with a YouTube live stream.
What do you expect Google will announce? Are you excited for the event? Let us know in the comments.
BONUS: 10 Free Android Apps You'll Use Every Day
You can start every morning with this alarm clock app. If waking up is tough for you, this app lets you set several alarms, each with its own ring tone.
Are you the type that sub-consciously turns your alarm off in your sleep? There's a math feature that makes you solve a simple equation to dismiss it. This way, you know when it's really time to get out of bed.
For $.99 more, you can also get the app with no ads.
What's great about CardioTrainer is that it allows you to choose how active or passive you want to be with it. Whether it's to map out a run, track your distance over time or log in your weight loss goals, the app does it all for you.
Your music library is also synced to the app, so it makes for a nice one-stop shop, rather than having several apps open during your workout.
When you don't want to stream music on apps such as Spotify or Pandora, Google Music is great because it lets you access your library from mobile and desktop browsers across platforms. The service is free, and Google offers free songs to download, but you can also purchase tracks or full albums from the Android Market.
You're also able to share a free full play of songs you've purchased from the market with your friends on Google+.
Whether you're city-savvy or visiting for the first time, HopStop is a really user friendly tool that helps you get where you need to be. Get directions via public transit, walking, taxi or biking from cities across the U.S., Canada and Europe.
For the health conscious, it will also tell you how many calories your commute burned, even if you're just sitting on the subway.
For seamless collection of documents, photos and videos, Dropbox makes it easy to stay organized. Access your files from any web browser as well as your mobile device. This makes all of your important content more secure -- if your Android breaks or gets lost, you still have everything backed up.
Looking for a quick bite to eat, or maybe a nice restaurant for a date? Yelp is good for areas you might not be familiar with, or if you're just looking for something new. The app also has an augmented reality "monocle" that uses your camera's viewfinder to tell you what shops and restaurants are around.
For your social media fix on the go, TweetDeck is a good option because it integrates Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare -- it also works for multiple accounts if you're juggling several.
If you're "Team HootSuite," there's a great Android app for you too.
When you want to catch up on all of your favorite blogs and news sites, Pulse is great because it puts everything into an attractive mosaic that's easy to browse. You can also save for reading later across platforms, or sync with Instapaper, Read It Later and Evernote.
Pulse also makes it easy to share via Facebook and Twitter.
When you need to take notes in a meeting, create a grocery list or otherwise stay productive, consider Evernote your digital notepad. The app makes your notes searchable, lets you capture photos and record voice reminders as well.
Whenever and wherever you watch a movie or show on Netflix, you can pick up right where you left off on your TV, computer and Android device. A paid Netflix subscription is required, of course.
