The statusbar drain indicator now reads power draw from BME and is updated every 15 seconds. Colors are: <100 mA (gray), <200 mA (yellow), <350 mA (orange), >=350 mA (red), look good? Playing a video with mplayer is about 450, playing video with media player is about 200, idle with wifi varies from 70-200 depending on brightness.
I've been doing some numbers
Since the real battery capacity is 1500 mAh, we can link an active time to a drain current (as current=capacity/time), making a little more sense of it.
So, l propose: >10h gray, 10-6 h yellow, 6-4 h orange, <4 h red
That would mean, in mA: < 150 gray, 150-250 yellow, 250-375 orange, > 375 red
But I see odd battery drops (see graph, do you see them in your device too?), so taking into account the real battery drop in the 2 hours testing period, it would mean a 1.22 (22%) correction factor.

So, my final proposal, if the battery drops are common: < 120 gray, 120-200 yellow, 200-300 orange, >300 red

What do you think?

P.S.: Some drains I've seen
Minimum: 6 mA
Idle, dimmed: 60 mA
Idle, not dimmed, dark room (15 brightness): 70 mA
Idle, not dimmed, light room (15 brightness): 120 mA
Playing mp3 (osso mediaplayer cpu/dsp=266/177), screen off: 100 mA
Playing mp3 stream, screen off: 200 mA
Browsing, far IAP without energy saving support: 350-500 mA
Maximum I've seen: 1200 mA
Using speakers: up to +40 mA
