What I am asking for is a setup like my laptop where I have a complete power profile for the system. Let me give a few use cases Case 1: I carry my tablet in my pocket. (On battery) Basically I turn it on, look at something put it away. * Screen dim 15 sconds * Screen Off 30 seconds * Offline 30 minutes Case 2: I get to office, plug it in. I want to keep My Google chat and Voip active on the tablet. I use a personal calendar on the tablet I want to watch I retrieve my personal email to the tablet and want to monitor it. I use a BT keyboard to stay in touch via the tablet I stream internet radio thru it. * Screen dim 15 minutes * Screen off Never * Offline never Those are the ways I want to be able to configure my tablet to run. Right now I carry itr all the time and use it away from the computer, but I rarley use it at the office becuse I have to "keep it alive" I realize this might be a bit out of scope, but I am not really sure it neds to be. I have been mulling about this long enough I thghout I would semi hijack a thread related to PM.
