Overall, the WristPDA scores pretty well for an OS4 box. Generally, OS4 applications that don’t do a lot of animations perform really well, the thing almost feels like a low end OS5 box(no emulation). However, you still experience lags sometimes due to the optimized(eg rarely refreshing) display system.
