Watch Google's Nexus 7 2 New York launch event live stream here from 5pm GMT

Google have a glitzy New York launch event lined up tonight, where the search giants are almost certainly going to be lifting the covers off the much-leaked Nexus 7 2 tablet, as well as giving us our first official glimpse of Android 4.3.

And you can watch it all right here! The event kicks off at 5pm GMT (9am PT), and can be streamed from start to finish from that time in the video above.

Also keep an eye out for a re-vamped Nexus Q streaming system, and likely some new details on Google Glass to boot.

And they may have to make up all of tonight’s surprise too, seeing as Best Buy jumped the gun and spilled the beans on all the Nexus 7 2’s core specifications.
