It would really be a different type of device. But lack of keyboard could be minimized if it had really good hand writing recognition.
Personally, I've not wanted an iPhone or other smartphone as the screen is too small and the data plans too high. And I've not wanted a netbook as I'd rather just use a laptop for my computing. Netbooks keyboards and screens are just too small for using for more than brief spurts. And since I always have a work laptop, I just don't have a need for a Netbook.
But I'd have an interest in a tablet that I could read on, mark up PDFs and student papers with a stylus just like writing on paper, watch online videos and movies, surf the net etc. etc.
