Are $20 Smartbooks really coming

It sounds far fetched and a little ridiculous, but could this be the future. It appears Google may be planning on building some bare bones netboooks or smartbook. Because Chrome OS is free and the data it creates is stored virtually, it may be a possibility.
It seems this may be on the back of google recently buying Teracent, a company whos speciality is personal advertising. It might be that they could use this business to cover any losses they may incur.
As it is in googles interest to try and get as many people as possible browing the internet the idea may not be as far fetched as originally thought.
