Hey Nate, in case you'd like to confirm whether or not the i86 is properly sleeping (which is an issue Onyx's other tablets had problems with), you can install CPUSpy. Basically, it lets you know what frequencies the cores are running at and whether or not they enter deep sleep. There's actually several levels of sleep, but to my knowledge, no app can test for each level. For our purposes, we just need to know whether or not it properly sleeps.

On another note, I had a poorly thought out request regarding the i86's frontlight: I noticed that many Onyx products appear easily disassembled (at least the plastic case is attached through clasps). Can you attempt to pry (just a little) the front bezel off with perhaps a guitar pick or credit card? It seems that it might be possible to adjust the color temperature of the front light using kapton tape:

Just a thought. :-)
You realize I'm the person that wrote that, right? I haven't had time to muck with the backlight on my i86, tried briefly prying things one day but a heat gun (which I don't have at the moment) might be needed to peel things back. If anyone does this please be careful around the thin plastic layer overlaying the screen - or else you'll get a dreaded 'glow worm'.
