I'm sure we could make a VM that would run on it but I'm also sure  
that you'd need a fairly different image to be of any use.  You  
certainly wouldn't want any background processing constantly updating  
animations, for example. The performance would be probably be fine  
with an MVC type image, lousy with Morphic - these displays are  
generally slow to update and most of the power consumption is in the  
changing of pixels..  Memory is pretty minimal and there's no  
immmediately obvious info on how much might be available to an  
application like Squeak.

I'd love to be able to work on something like this though. After all  
it's a contemporary version of the Active Book I  was working on  
nearly 20 years ago...
