Yeah . . . no.

Even the shittiest netbooks are currently rolling with 160GB of HD space, a 1.6GHz processor and RAM that can actually handle a full FSB load (i.e. "can multitask") - your netbook will be markedly more powerful than an iPad. 16GB of HD space will allow for, at most, 4000 songs or 4 movies.

The iPad is certainly not a "PC Killer" of any sort - it's really not even comparable to a netbook, it's more like an advanced version of a Kindle or iPod Touch. Cool looking technology and a step in the right direction, but it doesn't actually do anything. Yet.
