This is just one or two steps away from being something that can be enabled on the fly by applications - for example 3G is useful for browsing and active VoIP/IM chats, but not when the device is idle or for email connectivity in between the browsing session.
Ok, this is really bad to quote yourself, but Qwerty12, do you have any thoughts about how hard it would be for developers to simply plug into applet you just made to do just this - if you will, depending on the state of the device as your applet reports, they either change to the appropriate wireless state or not.

To end-users, it would offer a way to see and regulate those applications individually which might be more battery-intensive; which should give better feedback towards power management strategies that can be utilized for Maemo 5 and beyond for developers.

Just a thought...
