Sadly, I'm not so sure. The overwhelming power-hog on my Desire HD (running CyanogenMod btw), is the screen. What eats power most is eBooks: nearly zero CPU, but the display sucks power. I can get about 2 hours of book reading, but a day of standby, or ~6 hours of phone calls, or music.

Same issue on my OpenMoko FreeRunner.
Pixel Qi FTW. I only hope that they get some more traction in the market, more screen sizes and more kits for replacing your phone/tablet/laptop display.
