Hi,

First, apologies if it is the not the right place for this question. I tried
to put this question in the meego forums today but for some reason it didn't
allow me to log-in even. Said access denied.

My question was does MeeGo (specially for Handset) allow different modes of
operation?

There could be times when the user might only need essential features like
Phone, SMS, Contacts and Alarm. This could be probably to save battery when
he is on a budget.
The idea here is to have a smart-phone (regular/default) mode and a
basic-phone mode (only Phone, SMS, Contacts, Alarm and any other
necessary/dependent processes).

When the user opts for the basic-phone mode, the device should be running
only modules/processes related to Phone, SMS, Contacts, Alarm, Cell Radio,
Battery, Desktop, etc. If a process is not needed to run for any of the
basic-mode specified features, that process should clearly not run at all.
This probably (hoping) would result in battery saving and also faster
response times for the specified features in that mode.

I am not sure at all how easy or feasible achieving this is. But I believe
this could be very useful for handsets.

And finally, I hope this makes sense.

Thanks,
@vkvraju

P.S. Being dumb when necessary might actually be a smart thing than being
smarter always!!
