To my knowledge, neither the ipad app nor the media manager is open source. Though if anyone else has contradictory knowledge, I'm willing to hear it.

In the next few years we could have 1080 arm boxes that cost $25, which would make the whole client/server thing pointless because each ARM box would be powerful enough on its own.

Right on the money, what people want is shared content seamlessly across devices. There are plenty more ways to do that than going the client/server model. Servlets and distribution would fit a home network much better and scale better (say you want more than one location to store the media and its metadata on, which is by far a common thing in home networks). There exist plenty of valid specifications and technology to do this (uPnP being a leading one), very few open source servers though.
