Power Hero?

The problem... I work in an office building which blocks 99% of RF; while in the office if I dont remember to shut off my Mogul's radio it sucks the battery dry in about 4-5 hours hunting for a signal.

Possible solution... I have a program on my Palm Centro called Power Hero, which among many features is one called Signal Saver. Signal Saver shuts off the radio after a user defined period without finding a signal, and then checks for a signal at user defined intervals for a user defined number of times. This made a dramatic difference in the battery life of my Centro while at work, going from 8-9 hours per charge to 16-17 hours.

Anybody know of something simular for WinMo? I thought about trying to use MemMaid notification ques, but I aint inteligemental enough. Maybe some of you whiz kids can whip something up real quick.

Thanks
