I see no point in keeping the device on during my sleep.
I don't mean saving battery power but energy in general.
I know some people are used to keeping all devices on (TV)
even if they leave their house but some people are more environmentally aware.

Though, I'd like hibernation very much. At least to change battery when the first one is dead.
Could be an interesting project when my N900 is available; maybe tough too.

AFAIK, booting the device up consumes so much power that you're doing better by keeping the device in offline mode over night.

does or will Maemo support hibernation (suspend to disk)...
Suspension to RAM/disk would probably be best as a Brainstorm idea at this point.

See here for a simple calculation:

Please ask them what is the system current draw at idle, and during shutdown./boot. Then do the math.
does or will Maemo support hibernation (suspend to disk),
which Linux supports on most PCs?
It is a very useful feature if you want keep all your applications
open and in the same state over periods of power off.
There are several scenarios in which you want or have to turn off the device but don't want to start all applications again:
* over night: saves energy and let's you sleep
* in the proximity of sensitive devices (clinic)
* battery changing
cheers
