You can load "single use" programs all you want on the storage card without issues because after you close (not minimize) them, they leave nothing running resident.

The short reason for this is when the device "wakes up" and refreshes or calls those programs, the hardware that powers up/down the storage card hasn't done it's refresh and fully powered up that part of the hardware.

As a long time PPC user, this has been the cause of many unexplained lockups.

I'm not saying this is guaranteed the cause, but I've not had a single overnight lockup with any charger I use.
Yeah I've been aware of this issue and was pointing out, but thanks for the clarification. I also have a fleeting suspicion that activesync is the culprit for this kind of behavior especially if you push email enabled. There's still no solid fix for AS and it seems to have a mind of its own, starting whenever it wants, though no exchange server is configured.
