If I actually turn my cell phone off (as opposed to letting it go to sleep) it takes about 18 seconds to turn on and "boot up." Also, turning it off takes about 6 seconds.

I think people are gradually becoming accustomed to these delays.

But then, I grew up with vacuum tube radios and televisions and I used to have to wait while they warmed up anyway. The more things change ...
