My Psion 7 was instant on, as in, open the lid, press the on
button, and start typing. At most a second for the screen to
finish switching itself on.
The latest version of OpenZaurus has a 'feature' where it
can take 10-15 seconds to switch on and open the address
book. This is too slow, and makes it IMO unusable.
Anything which is going to be used as an adhoc notebook
really needs to be responsive within at most 2-3 seconds,
preferably sub-second, otherwise it's easier to get out a
dead tree.
