Telepathy. ;) Actually, you really can't know, since the user
can push the off button at any time, and the unit is suddenly off.
You can, however, catch the power keypress, and use that. Due to
the rather nice auto-off feature, you can have your application
open,and have the machine off to conserve power. Then, when you
want to get to your app, you can power it up again and you're right
back where you left off. Catching the keypress is really your only
option...the question is...why would you want to do this?
