Yes, that's what I was referring to. ...but I couldn't tell you whether that affects cell phones or not. I suspect battery-operated devices are exempt, but I have no direct information outside of the article I read (which is probably the same one you found in Google).

Poking around quickly on Google, the only thing I came up with was a government Energy Review that proposed rules that devices not have a user-accessible standby mode and that devices have a 1-watt maximum power drain when turned off. Is that what was referred to, or is there more detail that could be pointed at and more stringent requirements? I'm trying to figure out whether this is something that would perturb my own domain (cell phones) or that just applies to more power-hungry devices... thanks, scott -- scott preece motorola mobile devices, il67, 1800 s. oak st., champaign, il 61820 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] fax: +1-217-384-8550 phone: +1-217-384-8589 cell: +1-217-433-6114 pager: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Desktop_architects mailing list Desktop_architects@lists.osdl.org https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop_architects
