Android O incoming – Google hosting live stream on Monday

It’s been nearly one hundred years since we’ve seen a solar eclipse at the same scale as the one that sweeps across the US on Monday. In other words, it’s a pretty big deal. Google thinks so too, and that’s why it is using the eclipse as a launching point for Android O. That’s right, Google has once again proven how unpredictible it can be by announcing it will show off Android O, and celebrate the eclipse, at 2:40PM ET at an event in New York City. Even better, it will be livestreamed.

As you’d expect, Google is pretty mum on things like Android O’s name, when we might expect the Pixel 2, and so forth. Previous rumors floating around have suggested Google may move away from its sweet treat naming convention with O, though it is worth noting that the Eclipse page on Google’s website does say “Android O is touching down to earth with the total solar eclipse, bringing some super (sweet) new powers!” So take that to mean whatever you will.

Are you looking forward to Android O? What do you think it’ll be named, what features are you hoping to see? Let us know in the comments.
