From my understanding, Android has a lot that uses the data connection. Be it Google Sync, Voice, Talk, Maps, Gmail, or any number of other Google/3rd party apps. If that is the case, then that combined with the fact that it is running off of the SD card instead of the phone itself, still having bugs smashed and code tweaked to the optimum settings could help to explain the higher power cost.
And welcome aboard!
