I've bought 10 of these, and gave 3 for free to my colleagues. One of them was able to turn it for few hours into something usable for the stuff he does at work.
I'm currently looking into the Broadcom provided libraries residing in /opt/vc - written in "C" they are easily reachable by luajit through the ffi with just few lines of code.
Also with these libraries you can stay in console mode, and program as you were back in Apple ][ days. I'm actually thinking of deleting X11, and with mc, git, emacs, and few other tools it brings backs memories of my old venerable BASIC on the Apple ][
Oh, and the 1080p decoding is awesome. It's even more awesome when there is an example how to do ti (again from Broadcom).
