Netbook sales drove the bottom line for a number of laptop manufacturers, and it was the hot new category for the previous two years. Now there are increasing signs that Apple, Inc. (AAPL)'s iPad is cannibalizing netbook sales.

According to DigiTimes, and as reported on by many sites today, Asustek, well known for its success in Netbook manufacturing, is seeing its bottom line hit hard.
