I like having a button to close applications; but it's a problem having
it be the same button as OFF, and having OFF be more difficult to do.
I tend to put PDAs on awkward corners of desks and such, and I'm forever
doing: press OFF, try to hold, finger slips or Z slips off whatever
stack of stuff it's on top of, app exits losing all context about where
it was.

I wish the Z had a simple OFF switch.

I also wish it had an ON switch that worked.  Is it a hardware problem
with mine, or does everybody have to press the button three or four
times before the thing actually turns on?
