They will have to be plugged in, or at least charged very regularly while crunching.
They will get hot - despite the much lower power consumption they don't have the clever cooling of even a laptop. It might be worth considering some form of cooling base, but certainly not resting on the carpet.
I can't answer the credits per day (not points per day). But you will get the same per task as anyone else.

Starting to get back into SETI after a super long absence. I'm using my Galaxy Centura cell phone to run SETI while at work in airplane mode. It does pretty close to 1% per hour. So 100 hours for 1 unit. I may just give it up and uninstall.
