You're much more likely to coming back from suspend. No, that only applies to portable devices like your iPAQ :-) Sergei Sharonov wrote: >> 4. Does not have internal battery or super-capacitor [...] But even in some devices with batteries, mount time is a problem. I turn my phone off every night. I don't want to receive any calls, and I do want to conserve the battery charge. It doesn't suspend, it powers off(*), and needs to remount everything after booting in the morning. The 20 seconds to boot the phone is annoying, but acceptable. Longer would be very annoying. (*) I suspect suspend-to-RAM would be a problem with phones, because (like my laptop), a suspended device consumes its battery charge much more quickly than a device completely powered off. Unless you suspend to flash, that is :-) Sometimes a phone is turned off to conserve battery charge, so it really needs to do that. -- Jamie
