Notebooks are creating tools: you can create a new excel sheet on the netebook;
iPads are basically for entertaining reasons: watch videos, read papers, listen to your music, BUT you can also create a Word document on your iPad (in fact, I use iWork suite), pros: pages, numbers and keynote are 10 bucks each; cons, as long as iPad is a touch based appliance, its keyboard goes the same way, so mistakes are a very common task in these kind of gadgets, anyway, if you are decided to spend $100 extra, you can get a physical keyboard and the distance between a netbook and an iPad is even thiner.
I have not used any netbook in my life, but as far as I understand, such things are not computers at all: think about sound in your electronic presentation and think on the netbook.
Steve Jobs once said netbooks are not computers and iPad is the gadget between smartphones AND computers, and I guess he´s quite right
