Questions regarding functionality

Hey there,
I ordered my zenon Science Package for LEGO on the 13th but am still eagerly awaiting its arrival. However, I have a couple of things I'd like to know more about:
  • The firmware is a custom one but looks a lot like the standard firmware. Is this cosmetics and is the underlying firmware based on something else altogether?
  • Is it possible to make drivers for additional sensors using the programming languages this environment supports?
  • What is the target audience for this product?
  • Does it work with remote control (ie, the program runs on the PC, brick merely executes simple commands), much the same way Direct Commands work with the standard firmware?

Thanks in advance!
- Xander
