Speeding up camera boot

[PDAholic]

I hate how slow the camera boots, so here's a tip...To keep it open all the time, don't exit using the "x" button. Instead, use the "ok" key, and the camera program will continue to partially run in the background. If you open the camera program again, you will notice it opens much faster--mine went from 6 sec to 3 secs. Strange that the "x" button actually closes the camera program, but the "x" in all other programs just minimizes it.

You'll kill the battery keeping the camera open.

Would seem that way, but the camera doesn't really stay "on." If you do this trick, you will notice that the camera application boots up faster, but the camera still takes a second to actually turn on. I haven't done any real testing, but I have left my camera app running for the last two days, and I haven't noticed any drop in battery life. Give it a try.
