I'd say it's screen size. The weight and price should come down and the specs should rise over time, but it's the form factor that makes them a netbook. (I'd say anything with a 10" to 12" screen, unless you want to start calling the 12" ones mini-laptops. I'm not sure 'notebook' has really caught on.)
