About this, I was wondering if there was possibility to have cron like tasks even if the phone is suspended ?
If no, there is no way to make anything like this bithdays remeber. If yes, what will happend ? The phone will wkae up then suspend again ? The tasks have to suspend it after completion ? Sorry if this is a dumb question : I'm actually not an openmoko developper (I will try when I'll receive mine ...)
