Not necessarily. If we can cram a 250dpi LCD on a Pocket PC, a 3.5" or 3.8" LCD might be able to show 480x640 pixels. Before you say "that will be too small", it wouldn't be if the fonts and UI controls were scaled up. You'd see the same image, just many times sharper.

And as for power consumption, presumably there's an incremental cost, but nothing like the jump to color in the first place. My e805 presumably draws a bit more power, but its life is not that different from other Pocket PCs. I'd say that WiFi is a much bigger drain.
