The heat is just the system being well used! :) Mine does the same -- especially streaming for an extended period. I don't power-off at all - just leave it on and use the Power Key / D-Pad combo to lock the screen and buttons. If you match the duration (Control Panel / Display) for both the Brightness and switch off (say to 2 min) the screen will immediately shut down and lock. The unit is still on and will actually still remain or continue to connect based on your timeout settings... I usually leave mine in this way on my night stand charging overnight and in the am, it's connected and live with the latest info... I have the RSS Reader set to auto-refresh every 30 min on any connection which re-initiates any timed out issue. Unlike the Palm, there is an actual power function, which you can opt to use if you like. I think it's a personal thing. I like that it's just on and ready to do what I ask, without having to wait the 1-2 min to start up.
