I honestly believe at this point this question is more technical and more related about project resources than anything. But don't quote me on this one because I honestly don't know the details and latest status.

If you want to get a meaningful answer and even contribute to your desired scenario, I recommend you to move away from a busy end-user focused thread like this one, go to the meego-dev mailing list and formulate the question in constructive terms like:

What is the plan to handle power management in the MeeGo stack? Will there be an open component available or is this supposed to come as binary blobs for specific hardware/vendors? This question is specifically relevant to the current N900 support (apparently relying totally on Nokia's closed BME to charge the battery) and the ARM architecture in general. Thank you.
