Actually, no. A badly behaved application will kill the N900's battery
life. Nobody else has "managed nicely" - they've just made life harder
for application developers and users, which may have something to do
with the relative levels of market adoption of Maemo and Android. I'm
not aware of any form of resource management framework in MeeGo either,
so as far as I know it'll have exactly the same problem.
