Bigger than the SoC power consumption-wise, though, are the screen (5" is a lot more backlight to drive) and hard drive.
Yeah, I was referring to the 1080i, that TI says these boards can do,(which is and isn't HD).

The screen size is exactly why I was hoping Nokia would ccash in on their OLED investment for these..but maybe next time. But really, I was thinking about off device image displaying for "HD", which wouldn't burn any of the device's power if power management allowed you to turn off the device screen when you attached a peripheral.

I'm sorry about my comments being confusing with the discussion about hard drives.
