I'm a new owner and I'm a little confused about this point too. About the new low-power mode implemented in 1.6, is it automatic (i.e. device goes into low-power mode as soon as it's drawn the screen, and wakes up when a sensor or stylus is used)? And is there no other mode besides this and "OFF"?

Also, how long does the battery last in the low-power mode, e.g. if I disabled the automatic shutdown and just left the device ON but untouched? I'm thinking if it lasts at least 16 hours, I can just charge overnight every night and leave it on all day, so I don't have to wait for it to boot up every time.
