I suppose that most of the information is meant for all Maemo 5 devices, so its hard to figure out what may be coming in the near future. For instance under device orientation in interface guidleines it talks about " . . . progress indicators are only displayed in the landscape orientation. Apart from incoming calls, in this mode no other notifications are displayed on the screen. Instead, the other notifications are indicated by sound, vibration or LED." See http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/beta/hig/html/c113.html

Is this just general instructional language (for voip and other "calls") or specific language implying that soon a Maemo 5 device will be a phone?
