Seems like a rediculous price. You could achieve the same results with any Linux computer, including the recently released Raspberry Pi. If you have access to a Linux computer on an insecure network, anything is possible.
Although, I think form-factors need to shrink considerably. Eventually you will have a computer that will fit into a usb port which can interface with the computer and hijack control.
Something similar was on hackaday 2 years ago... it will connect to a network and assume control over it. It will constantly broadcast that computers should talk to it as it is the master. This device simply plugs into a wall outlet at a coffee shop and force redirects.. ie, you go to CNN.com and you think you're there, but you're actually on a site which is bogus and feeding fake news articles.
