Until those other pieces are ironed out, and some defined rules come out of those pieces such as:

- there will be a touchscreen, but what type
- there will be a capable enough processor to do video out, but how so
- will there be a physical keyboard
- and so on...

For us to stay on topic in this thread, those answers would be needed. Nothing about UI/UX was detailed in any notes that came from the summit.

Now, if we wanna start talking about what UI concepts could be present in Maemo 5 (in effect building the bridge before we get to the stream); then either on the Tablet UI Blog, or here in another thread, we can start that discussion.
Well personally, I think the comments about VoIP are relevant, and the comments about HSPA are relevant (I made some of them), but the comments on VoIP over HSPA are not nearly so.

You are wrong to say that a speculative discussion of UI is not, or even less, relevant. Excuse me, but we have an existing UI with Diablo release, and I am trying to sort out (with all the discussion of moving to desktop frameworks) how that is going to continue to play out; not building the bridge of a new UI before the stream (not that I even udnerstand that metaphor...).

There is plenty of off-topic discussion having nothing to do with Maemo 5 so why are you interrupting my UI in Maemo 5 discussion? If you are not interested in the UI conversation, then simply don't participate in it.
