Android 4.3 Jelly Bean expected to launch in San Francisco on July 24

Google has just sent out press invites for its Android event that'll be happening on July 24 at 19:00 GMT in San Francisco. The photo that the company attached simply reads "Please join us for breakfast with Sundar Pichai." Pichai, the VP of Android and Chrome, sure has some cool news to share regarding the next version of Google's mobile OS. Android 4.3 Jelly Bean has been out for a while now for the Google Play Store edition Samsung Galaxy S4. Hopefully, at the event happening next Wednesday, Google will unveil more changes to Android. Android 4.3 is said to still carry the Jelly Bean name. It seems that Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie will be unwrapped at the next Google I/O. Additionally, the second-generation Nexus 7 tablet is expected to be announced. It's been heavily rumored to pack a 7" display of full HD resolution and a Snapdragon 600 CPU. ASUS is said to be responsible for building the next Nexus tablet. Sundar Pichai. Though this Googler is in charge of Chrome as a web browser and as an operating system as well, it’s far more likely that this July 24th event will center on Android itself, especially considering the several appearances of Android’s next-generation features in teasers for the Motorola-made smartphone Moto X. Google does own Motorola now, and the time between here and the release of the Moto X grows short, but it is more likely that Google would create a side-event like this to prepare the world for the software side of things before the smartphone is unveiled in full. Motorola’s hero phone will carry Google’s next edition of Android right out of the box, so to speak, but it’s just as important for the company to identify the software’s features for the rest of the Android-toting device universe. Now that Google works with the Nexus 4, HTC One Google Play edition, and Samsung Galaxy S 4 Google Play edition, this event will likely show software advances on this three-device range. They’ve also got two tablets with Nexus branding as well, of course. Recent rumblings about a reboot for the Google Nexus 7 are also a part of the list of possibilities for this event. If a new version of Android is in the mix, what better way to usher it in than with another new device?
