Whether they remain open or not probably isn't an issue. What's supposed to happen is that they suspend when the OS gets suspended to RAM/Flash/whatever, and resume running when it wakes up. I don't think standby mode will actually close/re-open the applications. What could potentially cause a problem is if for some reason one of the viewers prevents the OS from suspending correctly. I don't know if that is happening or not, but it's a valid theory until we can test it more.

Right now what we know is that there seems to be some discrepancy between the amount of standby time a couple people are getting. I think it's way too early to really know why, yet, but all of these different ideas are good things to look at (viewers preventing standby, stylus proximity, etc). We should be able to test in a controlled way in order to narrow some of them down.
