Netbooks aren't great in my opinion because of the cramped keyboards, slow processors and small screens. If they had a bit more power, a better, touch oriented OS (perhaps Linux) and a touch screen with no keyboard and mouse, then it would be better. All they are is just Ultraportables with less power and smaller... not really something evolutionary or groundbreaking.

I'm sure after the iPad is out, there will be more open solutions that use Android and Linux to spur competition (and no, Windows 7, even though it has multitouch, isn't optimized for the touchscreen without putting more applications on top of it...) and soon, probably it will be jailbroken.
