I'm not sure if we use the term suspend in the same meaning, so here are some pragmatic situations:
1)_ You turn it on, you turn it off
so when you turn it on, are all the apps/windows you were using still there the same or not?
No, as CE Geek said it's like a soft reset.

2)__I close the lid, the thing is still on, the lid is simply closed.
does the screen really stay lit when it is closed?
does it drain the battery a lot, where you would advise to really shutdown the device instead of just closing the lid?
Yes.

How about when it is left open, does it have a feature to blank the screen after a period of inactivity?
(Seems this would be customized thru power management module in CP?)
and if it gets blank, does the device shutdown?
or does it resume by pressing a key or the on/off button?
On my device at least
(generic CE6 minibook
) there is a "power" applet in Control Panel. Here you can set times for user idle, system idle, and suspend. The idle times, as I understand them, simply reduce power to part of the system after a period of inactivity. Suspend powers the device down,
except for RAM and timer, so that when you press the power button it immediately comes back to life where you left off, programs running, etc. My device, at least, came with no other means for the user to force the machine into suspend, but there is a "suspend" app... which works about half the time
(half the time it simply locks up the system, forcing you to power down anyway
).
BTW to get back to the original subject, Pocket Word and other apps
(including the suspend app
) are available here, look for the "Razorbook working applications" thread in the CE5 section.
