It is not necessary to turn off the device completely because the standby consumes only a few mA that is needed to retain the memory. By doing this you can resume using the device in 3 seconds, which is really nice feature that we have been missing in iLiad and DR1000 (suspend to memory).
To clear the confusion:
1. The device will go to "idle" when you don't use it for 5 seconds. This also saves power.
2. The device will turn itself to standby if you don't use it for 30 minutes, and this is exactly the same mode when you flick the off switch (just flick it less then 1 second, no need to hold 2-3 seconds).
3. When you hold the off switch for 5 seconds or more, or until the LED turns off, it will restart the device.
So once again, there is no "OFF" mode since it is not needed. The only way to turn it OFF is to take out the battery.
