You know what would be nice ... a list of popular apps and the effect they have on power consumption. I don't know that there's any accurate way to do this without rigging up a test stand and feeding power to it so you can monitor power consumption msec by msec. This rating should include the idle use when the app is loaded but in the background.
Of course, Google needs to work on making Android better at power management and perhaps Froyo gets us a bit towards that with the built in task manager/killer.
