I'm sorry, but I don't really see the benefit here. It's just 45 seconds! I actually consider this effort a waste of time! If it were from 4 minutes to 45 seconds, I'd have appreciated it, but just 45 seconds are more than acceptable!

You can't save more power than a device that's off...
That said, how about a linux-based phone that is completely powered off and wakes up when it's called? Would you want to have the caller hold for 45 seconds while your OS boots to start a voicemail application?
Think about servers with a 99.999% uptime guarantee. with a 5 second shutdown and startup they can be rebooted 20x a year. with a 45 second shutdown and startup you can reboot them twice a year.
You obviously haven't used a computer that boots in 5 seconds yet. I guarantee that when you do, you will never want the old 45 second boot again :)

Well, maybe you're right. We'll see. If it works out without any side effect, it'll be good anyway.
