Depends how you define better?

Hardware wise - Possbile
Software wise - more options. . but i'm not sure :D

Who know, Its probably a good netbook, but I doubt it will do both well. How well would it integrate with your existing workflow? the iPad can sync your music/video/documents/mail. Or is it intended to be a complete solution? ?

one of the big negatives is its using a desktop OS that's been slightly modified to work with a touch screen, iPhone OS was designed to be a fully featured OS to be used with a touch screen. One down side is iPhone OS is still maturing, there is still a lot of untapped power in the OS, like multitasking (which apple has crippled for 3rd party apps) but is still there under the hood.
