In Windows Mobile 2005, do more programs running at once use more battery power, even if the programs are idle and the processor speed is set to 'maximum preformance'?
(i.e. calculator, notepad(notes), home, picture viewer, dictionary program, etc... running in background)

Also, does the color brightness of the screen effect battery power?
(i.e. if the background is all white compared to all black with the backlight on it's fullest preset)
