I guess compared to arduino, this is sort of a jack of all trades sort of thing. You can program hardware with it (EDIT: I meant using the IO pins), but if you decide to take it and use it as a regular computer (the way I'm hoping to use it as an NAS) you can. Arduino on the other hand is cheaper, so if you're going to design more than one of whatever you're making, or in whatever other way you plan to make a business out of it, arduino would perhaps be better...
