I definitely think there is a market for the device, and it would be great if Google bought them and sold (or gave it away) as a Google Business Apps computer. Unfortunately, even though they may have a good thing in the moment, like Palm Inc. their good idea probably won't survive the crowded market. I do think there is tons of untapped potential for Senior Citizens who want less complicated technology... and first time computer buyers who aren't kids... I'll cheer them on, but honestly will probably buy the Apple Slate instead because I'll get more power and versatility for about the same price.
