  • My name is Declan McCullagh, and I'll be your moderator this morning. My CNET colleagues Jessica Dolcourt and Josh Lowensohn will be reporting live from the event. Lynn La is also there, and Josh Miller is on the (still) cameras.
    by Declan McCullagh
  • Today's event will begin at 10am PT/1pm ET, and I'm about to open up the chatroom for pre-event discussions. We'll put a hold on those during the event, so Jessica and Josh can update us, and resume after.

  • Google was supposed to have their own event in New York City this morning, of course, but they canceled it because of Hurricane Sandy.

  • Still, the big pre-Microsoft news this morning is Google's announcement of the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 10, which my colleague Roger covered here:

  • Since the start of rumors on w8 os, i feel like microsoft is stepping up in their game of competition with android and especially ios. I am looking forward to the big changes and appeal that they will make on people.
