Yes, but doesn't that involve saving the state of everything to the hard drive, which is time-consuming?

I just want something to keep me from having to reboot while swapping batteries.

It seems like such a simple concept -- why doesn't hardware to do this with the N900 already exist?

It's basically like in-air refueling.
