I think you're right. Though I wouldn't hedge any money on them improving Picasa, directly anyway. This is more about enriching the Android platform. There are a lot of photographers that walk with a netbook and use that for editing within Lightroom. With a bit of a push, those said photographers could instead move to tablet. Picasa is like the Google+ of social networks, it had some loyal users who want it to be the next big thing. But that won't happen any time soon. Google will invest in this niché premium market for tablets. With the incoming Nexus Phablet and November's rumoured 10" tablet, they'll try and prove that Android offers more than casual/convenient usage.
