Word is coming in today that Samsung is sending out invites to a special mobile event planned for the 16th of September. Exactly what will be discussed at said event is still a mystery. Considering that the Fascinate is due out by the 9th, and that’s the only known high-end Sammy headed State-side, we are inclined to believe this may be the US reveal of the Samsung Tab. In fact, it could even be the Verizon version of the Samsung Tab for which we may (or may not) have seen picture evidence of already. Then again… well let’s not get to ahead of ourselves here. Whatever the event entails, we are sure to know a maximum of 16 days from now. Until then, let the speculation begin!

IFA, the world’s largest consumer electronics and home appliances trade show, announced today that Google’s Chairman of the Board and Cheif Executive Officer, Eric Schmidt, will deliver the closing keynote for the conference at 12:30 pm on Tuesday, September 7 in Berlin, Germany.
Considering that Samsung’s Tab will be announced at the beginning of the conference, and that Google’s next version of Android is designed to be very tablet-friendly, and considering that many suspect the Tab will run Android 3.0, there is reason to believe that Mr. Schmidt’s keynote could very well include – or revolve around – the announcement of Gingerbread. Then again, possibly not.
DroidDog will not be on site to report from IFA over the next week, but we will be providing coverage. We are just as excited about this event as you are.

Droidcon is a 600 member strong conference in London where you can find “Developers, Designers, Manufacturers, Marketers and otherwise amazing Android concerned individuals” all attending and sharing what’s going on inside their heads.

That seems to be the general consensus anyway. After all, there is good cause. Take for example, the changes already made to the Android Market in the last day. When you used to search, you didn’t see history and search icons, and now you do. It also doesn’t hurt that Google has been whispering about carrier billing on more than just T-Mobile.
So take these new features, and sprinkle in a little mystery… you got something worth hosting an announcement for. I should note: It’s been long rumored that Google will open a web-based market variant this fall as well. It’s not exactly fall yet, but I wouldn’t put it past Google to pull something like that out of the hat. Of course there is other things that would be nice like making paid apps available in more countries. Paid app availability has been under fire as of late, and this may just be the perfect opportunity to douse the fires of protest.
You don’t have long until we figure out exactly what will be told, but does anyone have a new guess today? This whole thing being Market related sounds right on the money to me. If that’s not it, I don’t know what to think.

Today, Google started sending out invitations to a special event scheduled for August 12th where they plan on “unveiling a couple of cool new mobile features.” The last time Google did this, they announced that turn-by-turn navigation will come free with Google Maps; Something a lot of people shouted from the roof-tops over. This time around, no one’s quite sure what will be announced. Sure this is the day the DROID 2 is supposed to go on sale, but this just may be something bigger. I’m hoping for something flavored with a little more sugar and spice. What do you think?
