 It's Monday, October 29th, 2012. I'm Dieter Bohn filling in for the entire East Coast, and this is 90 Seconds on the Verge, brought to you by Virgin Mobile. This morning, Google announced the LG Nexus 4 smartphone and Samsung's Nexus 10 tablet. Both devices have retina-level screens, and the Nexus 4 supports wireless charging. Unfortunately, the Nexus 4 does not support LTE. Google will offer the Nexus unlocked and off-contract for $299. The Nexus 10 will be Wi-Fi only and starts at $399. Both are due out November 13th via the Google Play Store. Both devices are showcases for the next version of Android, version 4.2. It supports Miracast, an industry standard for broadcasting video, gesture typing similar to Swype, multiple user support on tablets, and some major Google Now enhancements. It's still jelly bean, however. Google is saving its K-letter dessert for a future iteration. Microsoft took the final wraps off of Windows Phone 8. The company confirmed the first round of devices launched this weekend in Europe and next month in the U.S. We actually had a chance to review HTC's Windows Phone 8X. It's aggressively priced with standout industrial design, but the app ecosystem remains deficient. There's strong momentum, though. Microsoft has announced updates to Facebook, Twitter, and Skype, and Pandora will also be available for the platform. Finally, huge shakeup at Apple today. Senior VP of iOS Scott Forstall is leaving at the end of the year. Hardware legend Johnny I will now handle human interface across the entire company. Eddie Q will take on Syrian Maps, former Forstall projects that have been considered major disappointments. Last but not least, Senior VP of Retail John Browen is out after less than a year on the job. We've heard from many sources that are, quote, celebrating news of his departure. That's it for today's top stories. Tune in tomorrow, and if you're on the East Coast, please, please be safe.
