I understand that if we want to have a consistent crossdevice platform, then it should be able to deal with other hw that doesn't have as many power management features as Omap, but that is not really a good reason to discard what we _do_ have. Suspend is good compared to poweroff because it can retain the state of the device and usually trim down startup/shutdown times, but it's useless if the device actually manages to transparently and silently save energy. > > > Regards: David Weinehall > _______________________________________________ > maemo-developers mailing list > maemo-developers@maemo.org > https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers -- Igor Stoppa (Nokia M - OSSO / Tampere) _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
