+<p>The Status pane displays status information of the current application
+and state, as well as general information about the device status, such as
+signal strength and battery charge. The Status pane may also be totally left
+out in certain applications or situations. </p>
+<p>There are three different variations of the Status pane:<ul>
+<li><p>Normal status pane (includes both Title and Navi pane). </p></li>
+<li><p>Flat status pane (includes only the Title pane).</p></li>
+<li><p>Thin status pane (special status pane used, for example, in the Browser
+application)</p></li>
+</ul>Flat and thin Status panes can be used in cases where it is important
+to maximize Main pane area (for example, Browser). </p>
+<p>The Status pane contains the following sub-panes:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>Title pane</p></li>
+<li><p>Navi pane</p></li>
+<li><p>Signal pane</p></li>
+<li><p>Battery pane</p></li>
+<li><p>Universal indicator pane</p></li>

+Status Pane API provides methods for accessing the status pane control and
