No in PalmOS off is not off. On Tungsten T2 you can set it to be waked 
up by initiating bluetooth connection with it when it is 'off'. You can 
also schedule alarm procedure which gets executed and the display is 
even not waked up if you wish. Unlike with N770 you really can't 
shutdown PalmOS and battery is not removable in most units so there is 
not this type of problem there. Solution for N770 would be to remove the 
poweroff item to make it behave like PalmOS and maybe also implement 
suspend in kernel which pauses all tasks and powers off unneeded 
hardware. But the current system is also good, just don't let users 
shutdown the device so easily.
