Does 23andme allow users to get their data out? I.e., get them in some raw format that one could use to correlate with other studies you might find, or put them into some other service?

For now, yes: https://www.23andme.com/you/download/

A great resource for that sort of analysis is SNPedia (check out the main page as well): http://www.snpedia.com/index.php/23andMe

Neat! How is the data presented? How big is the file?
The above SNPedia link goes into greater detail, but the data come as a tab-separated file a few megabytes in size. For the older Illumina reports, the data files were about 5MB, but the newer chips may make files closer to 10MB. (550k vs 1m SNPs, respectively)
