Thanks James! Had a look, but the device is a bit expensive here in the South. Will pick one up in Europe when next I travel.

Yes and no.
Yes for "our" market which at this point is predominantly aimed at home entertainment and the web. Given the rate at which these things are evolving, I don't see that as being a long time off. Remember that they are essentailly mobile phones less some of the hardware, and if you look at the rate at which the mobile phone is advancing, good things are underway.
"No" for the developing world. One of the big issues to them (and I live in Africa remember), is access for the masses to information. Computers are a scarce and expensive commodity on this continent. I see Android devices as the big leap towards bringing education and knowledge to the masses here. A PC is a big complex sometimes finicky thing with expensive ancilliaries required, and a substantial investment in software. These Android devices by contrast can be hooked to an HDMI capable TV, with virtually nothing else required. They are robust, and provide access to cheap (often free) software. For this market price point is absolutely everything, so if you could package the device with a bullet proof keyboard and mouse, and somehow get s-video out of it to drive a regular television, they will sell by the million.
