I have a friend who has one of these, and he's stopped using it entirely because of unreliability. The WiFi performed poorly (e.g. in same room, on same router, multi-second latency) and the radios seemed to crash to the point of requiring a hard reset after a few days. Another thing he mentioned as an annoyance (that may be fixed now) was that the power state can't be controlled from software (e.g. shutdown -r will hang when it actually tells the hw to power-cycle).

For what it's worth I have 2 and have yet to experience any need to hard reset after roughly a week of being connected to the same network. I've also been able to use shutdown -r without any issue. I used them as beacons to mock up an indoor location app recently an they performed well during all of my testing. YMMV but thats my 2c.
