Since Iliad doesn't have a built-in support for quick "suspend-restore" mode why not to implement a simple workaround for it:
*When a user pushes the power switch off, the running application (OS itself?) automatically makes a snapshot shot of everything on the screen and dumps it to some temporarily folder.
*On the startup OS loader checks for a presence of this image file and displays it (instead of standard boot-time picture) thus allowing us to continue reading when OS is not even loaded.
Of course there is some security implications and usability issues that should be looked at - but you got the idea. On a good side - techinically it should not be difficult to implement because all the steps are pretty straighforward.
I've read that the similar aproach has been successfully employed either by Apple or Xerox, then why not to make it work for a Iliad users too?
Adam, what do you think ?
