Air traffic was also stopped, and there now there are an estimated 1 million plus people without power, it's a good thing that Google decided to do so. “We are canceling our Monday morning event in New York due to Hurricane Sandy. We will let you know our plans as soon as we know more. Stay safe and dry.” Google said. Will this have a negative impact on the sales is yet to be seen, especially since Apple launched their new iPad mini to compete with the Nexus 7, and Microsoft will hold their WP8 launch event on Monday on the West Coast without having to worry about the weather.

Leaking information about both their event stars will certainly ruin the surprise. The LG Nexus 4 was apparently lost at a bar, giving the bar owner troubles with Google's “cop” Brian Katz, who acquired the phone back with the help of police officers [Sounds like Apple…]. The Nexus 10 also leaked, and guys from BriefMobile provided both pictures and specs that are quite impressive, 10.1-inch AMOLED display with 2,560x1,600 resolution, 1,7GHz Exynos 5250 processor, 16GB of storage, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5MP rear and 1.5MP front camera. It will run on the latest Android 4.2. A new date for the event is still unknown, but we will inform you about it as soon as it's announced.

[Ed – Google made the right choice in this case as the damage from Sandi is much greater than many had predicted. There have been pictures of flooding coming in all day. Our thoughts are with those that are in the affected area. If you want to help victims of the hurricane you there are multiple links at http://www.redcross.org/. you can also find shelter if you are in the affected areas as well as let people know you are safe of find out if others are safe.]
