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...
But the question that comes to mind is: How would this be done without causing disruption (I'd imagine the mode continually being switched when an application starts/stops wouldn't be pleasant) and handling mulitasking would be fun...

Admittedly, it could be done (replace the HildonButton with a HildonPickerButton and add a HildonTouchSelector with Dual, 3G and GSM in it) but, again, it would just make it time consuming. I decided to make it 2G/3G switch only because, TBH, I wonder what you would want with such an applet if you allow the phone to switch between the modes for you.
But, anyway, the source code will soon be in extras-devel (it's been uploaded and built) so feel free to modify as you wish.
Regarding this, could you use a radio button structure with 3 options:
[*]2G [ ]3G, [ ]DUAL
?
That would make it easily switchable. I have not started working with the SDK yet so I am not sure how hard this would be though. Just an idea.
Cheers!

It would indeed be disruptive to the end-user experience. But, I'd wager that Nokia could stand for the positive Maemo press in being able to forward such an interaction between the application and wireless layers as something to enhance the customer experience considering current power limitations.
Thanks for the answer, that helped my mind out some more.

Useful applet for maximise battery life when 3G is not needed
But can you just build a script for, or say how to restore the original Dual mode ?
