Nokia is set to take the wraps off its “newest, soon-to-be-named” device, with a live on-site demo of the product and then the live broadcast of Nokia CEO Stephen Elop’s Nokia keynote in Singapore on June 21.

With a real Nokia event invitation in my inbox that’s thin on details yet, leaving the mind to conjure up a universe of speculative possibility, Nokia’s June 21 announcement promises a new market disruptor.

It’s a bold claim, which will hopefully be followed up by a bold and exciting product launch and technology demonstration, with possibly the one big predictable being an actual availability date months away from the announcement.

Hopefully Nokia will surprise here with an availability date that is sooner rather than later, if not immediate or quite imminent availability.

Nokia does not state if its new device is a smartphone, a tablet, a smartphone tablet, a smartphone/tablet/notebook combo device, nor does it state whether this disruptor has a setting for 3D, along with stun for the audience and kill in the marketplace for competitors.

However, we do learn that 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.”

What about business and market related questions of this mysterious new device?
