Sure. But just to be clear, anyone with a brewing setup that recirculates and can maintain a temperature can do sous-vide. So basically any HERMS or RIMS setup.I also just saw on their Facebook page that this device can easily be used to do sous vide cooking (they had photos of making sous vide steak by "mashing" for 3 hours at 135F).
All you need to be able to do is steep food in in a plastic bag at a specific temperature for a specific duration. There's nothing special about the PicoBrew Zymatic setup that allows sous-vide cooking as compared to other brewing setups. Many electric brewers are already doing it.
EDIT: Looking at their Facebook page I'll tell you one thing I think they're doing completely right: You see pictures of them drinking clones of Pliny the Elder, Heady Topper, a Rye IPA, etc. Smart. up front their target audience is craft beer lovers, not the BMC crowd. They may come later in the advertising (?) or possibly not at all given the difficulties in fermenting/lagering light lagers.
