Just an interesting tidbit. I recently installed Squeak on my Pepper Pad 3.

It's quite nice having a touchpad with Squeak. :)

Cool. I played with an older one in 2004. The result from tinyBenchmarks was about 18,507,807 bc/s, 686,095 s/s, and it is a bit slower than OLPC, come to think of it. What kind of performance and "usability" do you get?

That is cool. I didn't even know about tinyBenchmarks.
Pepper Pad 3 tinyBenchmarks:
'28193832 bytecodes/sec; 922382 sends/sec'
From my MacBook Pro for comparison:
'524053224 bytecodes/sec; 12262411 sends/sec'

28 million bc/s is decent for a smaller device. It is usually a bad idea to draw too much from the result of micro benchmarks, but because Squeak's VM implementation is portable across platform (and unfriendly enough to the memory system), the result from tinyBenchmarks has been very "proportional" to what it feels like on the platform.
Another thing I do is something like (change the parameters as you like):
[200 timesRepeat: [Display fill: (100@100 extent: 400@400) fillColor: Color random]] timeToRun
to stress the memory band width and to see the display update performance.
