You're right, Dennis, several current apps, and a couple of future updates appear to use a similar style. There are a few differences I see, though:
* Maps has two icons, one on left, one on the right, and textual tabs in the middle
* Safari and Mail use different style icons: they're "engraved" onto the background, not on a dark blue button which is sitting on the background.
* The new Calendar screenshot shows only a single button on the right.
So, it's not *completely wrong*, and of course I don't know what each button actually does; it's just a sense of it being strange and out of context.
