awwww I have a bunch of those gizmos in my lab too. There's not much to reverse engineer inside. There's a crappy old ARM from Atmel, big 8bit cheapass MCU for handling the display, some ultra-hermeticaly sealed zncl non-rechargable battery and thats mostly it. The temperature is measured by a blobby NTC.
My friend even googled out matching PC firmware for these units, but we hadn't been successful runing it, because it required some license number we weren't able to find or hack around. But I think there is nothing interesting, only if you want some basic parts and two crappy old MCUs.
Here's a hi-res photo of the similar units I have. (Hope the eevblog will upload it).
//It won't. So only a small preview and here's link for the hi-res:
