and on this subject:

BATTERY LIFE
Approx. 4 days
(Based on an average use of 30 minutes per day, with backlight set OFF.
The battery life varies depending on the temperature and conditions of use.)

That's 2 hour battery life without use of the backlight.  as a palmOs 
toy that may be reasonable,  but as a display for a wearable it seems 
you'll be needing that tether for power anyways...
