I agree with Mark in all but the above point. It is indeed a bad idea to have a wireless server but in this case the server would also be the access point and thus eliminating one wireless hop. It would be the same as running slimserver directly on your wireless router. If you already have a wireless router you have to turn off its wireless features. As Mark has pointed out there are currently no hardware specs available and no hacked firmware. It can only be guessed that it runs some sort of linux os as it supports fat, ext2 and (read-only) ntfs partitions. There won't be any easy way to run third party software on this device for quite some time.
