The Streak is a phone that does almost everything quite well, a swiss army knife. A netbook is a cheap computer that does everything but at 1/3 the speed of my laptop. And, unlike the Streak, I still cannot take it everywhere.
So, if cost is a concern, I don't see a place for either a netbook or a tablet. Both are just slightly more convenient form factors that replicate (and not very well) the functions of a full fledged laptop. Unless you don't own any computer at all and can't afford a decent one, then a netbook does make sense.
