I know that 4mhz seems slow but it will work for the things that I 
want to accomplish with my wearable.  I think that it is a cheap 
alternative that could run many apps, and be very profecient for and 
use little power but almost no one is willing to look into it.  The 
pocket gameboy can run for 25 hrs on 2 AAA batteries.  That is a 
million times better than any other wearable.  Somewhat limited but 
very effective and possible.  If you interested give some older 
technology a new chance.

Do you think this is worthwhile?  I'm not up on my wearables tech. too
much, but 4MHz seems pretty sloww...
