In my experience, the tiny screen, incredible slow processor and cramped keyboard on typical 10" netbook wasn't really usable, almost more trouble than the size. The difference in capabilities, in particular, between my former 10" netbook (Dell Mini 10v) and my present 12" subnotebook (Lenovo X200s, hardly a screamingly fast or capable system!) is huge.
The cost difference when new was huge too. The processor speeds on the newer dual-core 10" netbooks are better, but still not up to where the cheaper 11.6"/12" subnotebooks have been for the past couple of years, and it doesn't address the screen and keyboard.
