Samsung has got something up its sleeve in terms of upcoming products and it plans to talk about them publicly in a couple of weeks. Thisismynext.com, along with other media outlets, have been sent invites to attend a Samsung press event in San Diego on October 11. But the smartphone company won't be alone. Samsung is promoting this event as a joint operation with Google, with the invite saying specifically that the press will "get a look at what’s new from Android" during the press conference.
That's certainly a big clue that the event might be the place and time for the official unveiling of a Samsung made smartphone that will have Google's next version of the popular Android mobile operating system inside. Android 4.0, otherwise known as Ice Cream Sandwich, has been the source of much speculation, along with some screenshot leaks. This week a video made its way to the Internet that supposedly showed Android 4.0 in action. So far Google has been pretty silent, at least in public, about the details of Android 4.0, saying only that it would launch sometime in October or November.
It's likely that the press event will show an upcoming Samsung smartphone that Android 4.0 will be running on. Internet rumors have been flying about this mystery phone over the past couple of months. Even the actual name of the phone is under dispute with some calling it the Nexus Prime, others labeling it the Droid Prime and still other rumors naming it the Galaxy Nexus phone.
