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.
