Why don't they just turn on when you hit the On button?
To avoid accidental activation. My work mobile is a real pain in that respect - it's constantly turning on or off accidentally when it's in my pocket, and I sit down, or bend down, or bump into something. The iThing's "slide to activate" is much better.
