The most important thing to remember here is that Nokia's R&D always have been spewing out ideas and concepts, some very hot, that were never ment as anything other than inspiration. Nokia has had the hottest concept devices - always. They've rarely made anything like it for the real world.
R&D was cut immediately after the Elopalypse, and again now. Expect that some of the 4 000 + 10 000 "market-reenabled" Nokia employees will leak some of their babies for years to come.
Of course, how can Elop allow Nokia's previous, almost ready plans to be shown in public after his burning platform memo. Yeah, Elop, you showed the world that Nokia had nothing competitive under wraps.
1) Didn't webOS do all that ages ago? 2) When was the last time Nokia delivered a service offering that a) didn't suck and b) wasn't pulled without explanation a few months later?
To contribute to the speculation over the next buzzword, my money is on "augmented reality" or "layered reality". These words had their buzzdays, so it will probably be something different, but basically borrowing the same idea.
The concept potrayed here looks good, I think it would most benefit tablet platforms. I just find it ironic, that every cloud service Nokia ever had (Ovi Files, Contacts etc.) was pretty much killed even before Elop. So it probably was someone before him who pulled the plug on this thing as well.

Ah you beat me to the punch, sorry for not reading your post carefully enough.
