It always comes to my mind that the most stupid thing to be done on low battery is to exit sleep mode, power up cpu, screen and scream aloud about low battery ;-)
Well, i guess flashing led is not that power hungry?

The ARM CPU is able to sleep and wake up much faster using much less energy than a typical PC. Anyway, the whole idea is to determine when it is not quite too late and complain then.

I'm so used to devices that can tell me battery capacity in percentages that I find n900's little icon very inadequate. Something onscreen - or an occasional sound to tell me if it's getting really low would be good. Lots of devices beep at low battery.

It makes a really awesome "cry of death" sound right before the battery runs out!
