After reading around on the official website and viewing some of the videos I've learned that it can apparently play the Quake 3 demo at a respectable framerate aswell as play 1080P H264 encoded video without problem. Would be pretty neat to strap one on the back of a TV just as a media streaming device or build another car-computer. There are two versions, a $25 version (shown above) and a $35 version with built in NIC and a couple of other expansion slots.
Whatcha think?

I think this is a cool idea and inspires my inner geek. Its not much in specs but I think you can get a lot of useful software to run on that. And for that size or price I can see a lot of creatively may be able to go into that.
what i find truely incredible is that it can play quake 3 i mean this little $25 pc is probably half as powerful as the 3ds. http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/raspberry-pi-25-pc-runs-quake-iii-20110829/
So, do you think it could run Minecraft if it was cranked down really low?

Didn't think so.
Well, it was playing Quake III at 1080p with 4xAA, so I was just wondering. Sorry.
