The answer should be yes. The existing tablets can already do that (though not necessarily with a great degree of reliability). So hopefully the n900 will have greatly improved on that.

Hello, just registered here.. and I'm very interested in the N900 device but have a few questions.. so here goes:
1) What happens when I'm listening to music and a phone call comes in? Will the system note to increase the volume of the phone call when my music is loud? or better yet, interrupt the music to show phone call? How does it handle SMS?

2) With the exception of handwriting recognition, do I -need- the stylus to do anything on the device? If so, where? I'd like to know just how finger/touch friendly this device is.

4) Will the device give me a summary of things upon a single slide? I'm looking for things like:
a) # of missed phone calls
b) # of SMS that I haven't reviewed
c) upcoming calendar appointments (preferably a date range that is user configurable) - for example, I'd like to see all appointments for the next week.
d) new emails that I haven't read, if there are multiple email boxes, separate them (maybe something like.. Google-Personal(4), Google-Notifications(12), etc. etc. where the first part is the name of the account
I'm looking for this because iPhone doesn't currently provide a uniform "summary" window for something like this and I have to go into various programs to accomplish the same goal.

2) You can configure the message alerting in various ways. On my device, I just get a short vibrations (also for emails). Next time I turn on the display, the app switcher in the top left is glowing to remind me of events. When selecting the switcher, it show the overview of current programs and events/reminders: this includes missed calls and received messages. See this screenshotafter getting 1 email, 3 messages (1 SMS, 1 Skype Chat, 1 Gtalk chat) and missing two calls (1 voicecall, 1 gtalk call):
N900 missed calls and messages in overview
PS: On the N900, simply use Ctrl-Shift-P to make a screenshot. It will then show up in your Pictures.
All very decent in my warped opinion
The seamless integration of GSM, SIP, Skype and Gtalk just rocks!
