If I can chime in here, my old Zaurus is hardly ever powered off either. It does have a "suspend" button, however, which seems to be something the N8x0s lack, am I right? On suspend the screen goes black and the sound quits working and the wifi (if inserted) disconnects, but when I hit the resume switch again they all come back on as if they were never away. Rebooting the thing takes about 3-4 minutes of activity to bring up the CACkO O/S Qtopia desktop, and does eat a lot of power.
