Nokia’s International nDevice of mystery “will be unveiled and demonstrated for the first time by Kurt Bonnici, product and technology marketing manager at Nokia Australia”.
Following this demo will be “a live broadcast of Stephen Elop’s keynote speech from the Nokia Connection conference in Singapore.”
Nokia has advised the press that the information is a technical session only, stating: “Please note this will be a product demonstration only.
“In his role as product manager, Kurt will only be available to answer technical questions relating to the new device.”
this was posted and we discussed this many many pages back not your fault as the thread is too long to keep up and moves so fast.
There is many local gathering in various countries for local Media and bloggers to get hands on and do Q&A about devices and services announced IN Singapore
I noticed a few days back he was added to speakers list but was unsure if it was just my bad memory
They are constantly changing content, i.e. Developer Forum was in menu, but now it isn't, Ahtisaari and I think even Gordon were added to the speakers list, and so on.
just a question to ask yourself;
why would NOKIA put any HARDWARE disruptive technology on a MeeGo device?
by their own admittance it isn't ready yet for mass acceptance and for the last 4 to 6 months, everybody has been repeating in & out that the platform was dead (@ least as far as NOKIA is concerned).
no provider is going to advice any of its customer to pick a MeeGo device in those conditions, will they?
so why not use the "proven platform" (dixit Stephen Elop taking the Oro out of his pocket)?
a Symbian N9 being a N8 upgrade w/ such a disruptive HARDWARE technology would stand a much better chance exceeding the 4 millions unit of N8s sold in less then a year, no?
iPhone was not a mature product when it appeared, it had a nasty habit of exploding. The fact that the technology was not proven, did not stop it from changing game. Bare in mind it was never announced until it was too late for the others to react.
Nokia on the other hand, has already presented some of the cards, which means they will have to produce haptic device really soon, otherwise it will not have a disruptive effect (even now the competition is working toward the same goal).
This does not eliminates hwkbd, which from mine point is proven and preferred solution.
UI/UX of this device is rumored to be awesome (as K123 has said) and he is responsible for UX at Nokia
he was not on the speaker list from the start, so there was a change (Elop -> Ahtisaari?)
he is very passionate about disrupting devices (see his talk at Le Web '10)
