It may not be iPhone-related news, but developer Tomis Erwin may have come up with something useful.

SafeSleep 1.0 is a free AppleScript front-end that taps into various Terminal commands to improve upon Mac OS X's sleep features. Here, the computer can save the contents of the memory to the hard drive before shutting down the computer. This features is also available on other operating systems and is known as "Hibernation" or "Suspend-to-disk".

The program requires a laptop running Mac OS X 10.4 or later to run and is a 21 kilobyte download courtesy of MacUpdate.

Give it a shot and if it works out for you or goes south in any way, let us know.
