This would make an interesting little server if has the processing power for that. Maybe with a big SD card, it could be a little portable Git server?

It has more than enough power for home server level tasks.

I was fast, lucky, and able to wake up at 0-dark-30 in the morning to order and I currently have it running ArchLinux and using 4 USB webcams to detect motion and lock in to take facial-area screenshots using both Motion and OpenCV+Python. This weekend, I plan on testing out the Kinect libraries.

I have a 7000maH battery on order from Amazon to be able to make it portable and easily chargeable which I hope to get 8 hours of off the grid battery life out of.

If you don't need the video, audio, GPIO, or the long wait time for the batches to fill current orders, a comparable product at low cost would be the PogoPlug. http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/pogoplug-provideov3

This is pretty amazing stuff! Do you have a blog where you post the details?
