Is there anyone who has or knows a utility to prevent accidentially turn on of the iPAQ, when itīs in your bag,
something like the 2 key power on function for Palm.

Please please..

iīm so tired of my iPAQ allways being allmost out of power, when getting out of my bag...

I will try to find a program for what you want. In the meantime I would suggest that you goto your Power screen and change the amount of time the unit stays on when on battery power, I believe the lowest setting is 1 minute. Also watch how you have your reminders setup, they can also drain power while the unit is not in use by coming on.

I found a couple programs but don't know if they are what you want. Check them out.

PowerTap (http://www.iliumsoft.com/powertap.htm)

Good luck

When placed in a bag the iPAQ still turns on too often to keep power when itīs needed, one minute is a long time..

- Hope you have a better idea?

I keep mine in a case and never have a problem with the power button being hit, it also protects the screen. I have used the compaq soft cahse that velcros on you belt and now have a hard case that can withstand a 3 foot drop to concrete. Did you look at those programs? I will keep looking.
