Starting on October 16, Google is reportedly setting off the countdown that will lead to the release dates of its three key products - the Nexus 6, the Nexus 8 and Android L.

One scenario that likely will play out is the formal announcement of the next Android that will replace KitKat. Numerous reports are saying that this mobile operating system from Google is actually Android 5.0.

However, the software's official name is still subject for debate though the latest chatter pointed to three strong candidates - Android L, Lemon Meringue Pie and Lion.

Whatever it is called, a tweet last week had suggested that the next Android is set for unveiling on October 16 powering a device that was initially known as the Nexus 8. In a Twitter shout out, Android-focused developer Paul O'Brien shared that Google's 8.9-inch tablet will be made public.

Affirming the earlier rumours, O'Brien added that the device is coming out of the box as the HTC Nexus 9. Also, while there was no specific mention, the dev seemed to have implied that the next Android is set for its grand introduction.

Indeed it was hard to imagine that Google will uncloak its flagship tablet without revealing its core capabilities and functions, which will only be made possible by the same-day revelation of Android 5.0

When the new OS and the pure Android tab are going be out was not included in the Twitter post.

But one possibility is a simultaneous rollout that will take place in the next few weeks. Looking back on Google's release history last year, the Nexus 5 and KitKat OS were unwrapped end of October 2013 and after two weeks both were immediately pushed out.

History could repeat this 2014 but this time it will be the tandem of Nexus 9 and Android L.

Still, Nexus watchers could not discount the likelihood of Google opting for a one fell swoop - that is inserting the Nexus 6 with the whole package.

And if the two-week window time from the product unveiling were to be applied, it is not remote for the Android world to witness the arrival of Android 5.0, the Nexus 9 and the Nexus 6 or X (as it said to be patterned after the 2014 Moto X) all in a single day.

That should make for an exciting Halloween 2014 release date for Google that will unleash the Nexus 6 and Nexus 8, powered by the next Android, in one powerful final push for the year.
