I saw this or something like this around the time of the unrest
in Iran, and was thinking that perhaps these little plugs might
make good tor nodes. But they don't have wi-fi so that doesn't
work as well as one would hope.
While everyone else is making wall warts that are small
enough to not crowd the power strip or wall plug, this thing
takes up lots of space right at the plug. Does it at least not
block the top plug of two outlet wall socket?

The device in question can be found at http://www.openplug.org/
So my question is, how much interest is there in such a project/device?
1.2 GHz ARM Processor
512MB RAM
512MB Flash
1 USB2.0 port
1 Gigabit port
Things this hardware is generally not optimized for:
Web server
Backup server
Databases
Email server
Firewall
Things I could see a box like this doing:
Embedded web server applications
DHCP server
Webcam image capture/forwarding
Print server
Temperature or other sensor monitoring/forwarding
* An "always on" SSH point, from which you can wake up other
machines via Wake-On-Lan
I see this as a special-purpose machine, similar to the Linksys NSLU2 boxes
except with more RAM and Flash, and a faster processor.
