In many ways, the nexus one is fairly unimportant, its a useful update to the older developer handset and a nice phone in its own right, but it's the offerings from the likes of htc and motorola that are available by more conventional methods which are driving android sales.
The main problem with Google and tablets is they still seem to want this chrome os stuff when devoting more resources to making android more suitable out of the box for tablets, one of the big strengths for android at the moment is that hardware makers don't need to spend a long time working on it unless they choose to do so like htc and their sense ui, whereas in a lot of the reports on forthcoming android tablets you hear a lot of mentions of the work needed to make android more presentable on a tablet.
