While that might be true in general, the fact is that the Touch and Mogul were designed around the same time period, use pretty much the same chipset , which other than the screen, really determines the power consumption. So if we take the fact it has fewer LEDs and no KB, and a weaker battery by almost 33%, on paper the Touch and Mogul should be about equal or the Mogul slightly better.
