Considering most of the software on it is free, it's far too expensive for what it does. ($1299 USD, in case the site's been Slashdotted to heck.) Now if it was about 200-300 UKP, then I'd be interested.
Good to see it running Linux though. This could be the first in a hopefully long line of Linux-based (but more important - open protocol) consumer products. There's something incredibly gnarly about being able to access a home music center via HTTP. When you've got a simple web-based interface to an appliance, all those nasty little chores like setting clocks and the like become trivial.
Looks like I'm just going to have to install a home network and hack a spare box to play through a decent audio system...

But yes, very nice anyway.
