I'm not sure whether or not devices like this are good for Android in and of themselves, but they're an inevitable consequence of something that is great fit Android: that people can take the Android source and run with it in a variety of ways, whether Google wants them to or not. For example, the first Android tablets pre-date the iPad by months and the first Google Android tablets by about a year. Or you could look at the variety of activity in the Android STB space, which has been substantially more interesting and successful than Google's official efforts, so far
