There are 2 different devices aimed at 2 different market segments.

Netbooks are small and light and can usually run the same software as a PC that the basic PC owner would need.

An iPad is for a more hip consumer and cannot run many basic software that can be useful to a non advance PC user.

So I doubt that the netbook will die because of the iPad. Netbooks may however disappear if consumers do not feel the need to spend $300 for an extra laptop...
