Bob - since you have that nifty software that measures battery usage, I wonder if I could have you test something for me?

I am trying to figure out, for a constant data stream, like when streaming music or youtube videos, does it use less battery to stream over EVDO, or over wifi? Lets assume a good EVDO signal, 3-4 bars, and for the wifi, being very close tothe router, 10-20 feet with a clear line of sight.

I *seem* to get slightly better battery life over wifi, but both methods drain battery very quickly and cause the radio to heat up a lot (I took the back cover off.... the battery was not the main source of the heat). I would love to have some hard data though to know which method is better for battery!
