Suspend mode:

I think someone was saying they hadn't seen a suspend mode. The manual suggests putting the device into sleep mode rather than turning it off (hold ALT and the aaA key together, the lower left and lower right most keys on the keyboard). It also says it will go into sleep on its own after 10 minutes.

At least when you do it manually, it brings up a random picture (I've gotten some birds, a dictionary (with the kindle definition from the box), a page of an old star atlas, and Oscar Wilde so far) with a message telling you which keys (the same ones) to press to wake it up. In this mode all other keys are "locked" to prevent inadvertent operation.

It only takes a couple seconds to wake up from sleep. If you use the power switch it takes something around 12 seconds to start up. A cold boot (first power on for example) took longer, maybe 30 seconds or so.

Don't yet know which modes the DV-DO automatic downloads will work in.
