With a gigabyte microSD, there is plenty of space.
You can install practically a full distribution, including GCC/...
You may want a bluetooth keyboard.
For smaller stuff, it's not unusably slow. Think a pentium 100 or so.
I'd expect a full rebuild of OM (neglecting the fact that it doesn't 
have the space) to take the better part of a month.
