I have one sitting in my living room right now. While there are quite a few bugs, almost every flaw is known to DivXLabs, and they are rolling out updates to the beta testers.
It's a pretty cool little box. Handles things WAY better than my Momitsu 880N or the Buffalo Linktheater. Wireless right out of the box. Interfaces with Stage6 (although that needs some UI work, it's hard to navigate), and it will support third party services and plugins. They just released a dev kit for plugins.
Right now, Google Video is broken, but should be one of the next things fixed.
No local storage, BTW, but it does have a USB port that doesn't do anything yet.
My favorite part is that it knows the size of my screen and my files and I never have to choose an aspect ratio. It always plays things in the right ratio for me. That's something my other two media streamers are terrible at doing.

How does it handle HD content and does it support .mkv files?
Constable Odo @ Jul 29th 2007 8:10PM
Can it handle subtitles (.srt or .idx/.sub) files? I'm really looking for something that can handle soft subs for all my foreign movies.

I only have two 1080P divx files, and they are choppy over wireless, but play well over the wired connection.
No support for Matroska containers yet. I don't see any talk about it either...I'll make a suggestion! :)

Odo: It handles SRT files. Just added with the last software update.

Thanks for the info!
