The only Achilles heel for this is getting the data out and doing some real analysis of what your sleep cycles are, how your fitness levels trend, etc.
Hopefully in the near future, they will come out with something, but thus far, the data you see is quite limited.
I managed to extract the raw minute-by-minute data from the Band using some hacky tricks. I was thinking of posting a howto, but trying to check if it runs into problems with the CFAA/DMCA. Might post something tomorrow after making sure it's legally sound.
Not really an RTOS. I hear it's more an "event loop and some interrupt handlers," much like the firmware in the Kinect.
(We went through a "we need an RTOS" phase on the Kinect. Eventually we ditched the thread stuff we wrote, which made things a lot simpler -- if you don't absolutely have to have threads and can get away with computing stuff in a main loop, then do that. Threads introduce all kinds of synchronization and inconsistent execution time nonsense that you should avoid if you can).

That would be a bad battery.

I'm not sure why anyone would use WinCE for something without a GUI, even within Microsoft.

ifixit they are not, but its a good start
