The rumoured Google event on 29 September is no longer rumoured, and it will have a unique Australian twist to it this year. Ausdroid will be in San Francisco next week, and we’ll be covering the anticipated announcement of new Nexus devices and previews of Android 6 Marshmallow live, on the ground.

Of course, while nothing is locked in, the Nexus 5X (Bullhead) and Nexus 6P (Angler) are likely to make their debut, as well as a more detailed look through the next version of Android, dubbed Marshmallow, which should drop with the release of the new Nexus phones. There’s also been a bit of rumour and talk about a follow-up device to the Chromecast being launched … so we’ll keep our eyes and ears open for that!

We’ll have a live blog running from about 1am Wednesday (Australian Eastern time), so I can provide updates live from the event, and we’ll have a couple of guys back here in Australia helping out as well. Hopefully we’ll get some good hands-on time with whatever they launch afterwards, and we’ll report that back to you as soon as practicable afterwards.

His interests include mobile (of course), as well as connected technology and how it can make all our lives easier.
