ok, some quick results are:
max current when calculating (also on initial power up) = 30ma.
sitting in the main (color) menu = 11ma.
idling in the calculator (main app) = 7ma
[why this is less than when on the main menu, not sure. unless the brightness is slightly different here].
when screen goes dim = 3ma
one other thing is that the current draw seems to fluctuate by about 1.5ma all the time. not sure why. my numbers above are averages.
