Hi,
does or will Maemo support hibernation (suspend to disk),
which Linux supports on most PCs?

It is a very useful feature if you want keep all your applications
open and in the same state over periods of power off.

There are several scenarios in which you want or have to turn off the device but don't want to start all applications again:

* over night: saves energy and let's you sleep
* in the proximity of sensitive devices (clinic)
* battery changing

cheers
