The Next Web is reporting Google has distributed an internal video that details and confirms speculations about what might be revealed at the upcoming event.
The video reportedly discusses the launch of a 32GB version of the Nexus 7 tablet, as well as one with 3G support. It also indicates Google is working with manufacturer Samsung to release a 10-inch tablet called "Nexus 10" that will run Android 4.2 ("Key Lime Pie"), and a Nexus smartphone manufactured by LG.

Meanwhile, the new Android 4.2 mobile operating system will include a panoramic camera option and "tablet sharing" capabilities, which would allow more than one user to access the device with his own set of email and apps -- similar to how a family or business can switch between user settings on a Windows computer.
Earlier this week, Google sent invitations to the press for an Android event to be held in New York City. Although the invitation didn't detail what might occur, the tagline -- "the playground is open" -- suggests it will have to do with Google Play, the company's newly-rebranded Andriod Market.
The news came as Microsoft prepares for its Windows Phone 8 launch event, which will also be held on Oct. 29 -- and Apple gears up to unveil its rumored 7.85-inch iPad on Tuesday, Oct. 23.
Google's new Samsung tablet is reportedly being filed under the name "Codename Manta." The device is expected to have a 2560?1600 pixel resolution and 300ppi, which is greater than the iPad's 264ppi.
Meanwhile, the 4.7-inch Nexus smartphone manufactured by LG is said to tout a quad-core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm APQ8064 Snapdragon processor, a 1280x768 display, 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage.
