There's a great article to EETimes about how Google is already reach out beyond the mobile phone.
"Android set-tops, VoIP phones, televisions, Karaoke boxes and digital frames are coming soon to a dealer near you."
An open Embedded Software Foundation (OESF) was established to create a platform based on Android feasible for a variety of integrated products group, composed of 25 companies, including ARM, KDDI, Japan Cable Laboratories, Alpine Electronics and Fujitsu Software Technologies, will launch several working groups, including: set top box; VoIP; network and security; measurement and control; system core; application and services; and marketing education.
We can find that the current fashion for mobile consumer applications becomes a small part of some ecosystem of software Smartphone OS future.
