It'll only draw 20ma when it is turned on. And from the looks of the pictures posted 20ma might be a teensy bit too much juice.

If I were a Sony hardware designer I would have made a play to management to make power available on the dock port so we could introduce a thumb board at some point.
The power port should have a low forward voltage diode to protect the device from reverse polarization of the power cable. The diode would have the side effect of preventing power being tapped from the device via that port.
