Comments:
Ian: you are right. Underclocking is not always a good idea (e.g. when running Firefox). But there are quite a few games/emulators which cause the CPU to run at full speed when it is not really necessary. This is when QCPUFreq comes into play :)
I am planning on updating the documentation in the next release to make this point clearer.
This may not actually save power - the device uses much less power idle than when running slowly - and not that much more when fast.
This can mean that locking it to a lower freq may not in most circumstances save power.
Works well though.
the portrait-mode was a pleasant surprise. :)
Nice and clean interface. Well done! +1
