This is crazy awesome. Since it uses h264, I wonder how well a Raspberry Pi would work as a client machine. Heck, you might be able to do a whole LAN party just with PI's.

Imagine the bandwidth required to stream a lan party :)

I thought of that, but it would be downstream intensive, so even at 5Mbps for HD, you could still get at least 4 people working on a simple 20 meg line.

RPi is bound at the network interface, then. Even the onboard Ethernet runs over the USB hub.
