I agree the ipad is a revolutionary device that is way better then a netbook. I have an ipod touch and the ipad is not only bigger but better and the price is reasonable. The problem with a netbook is that you can't listen to music, watch tv shows and movies because there is no itunes, you can't play games and other apps because there is no app store. Also you can't watch videos in HD, read books as you can on an ipad with the ibook store; in addition netbooks are heavy and thick which makes it harder to travel with compared to an ipad. So an ipad is way better then a netbook, hands down.
Are you trying to be funny (as I certainly hope you're not that clueless)?
You can load itunes (assuming you'd even want to which not many people don't) on any laptop. I originally had it on my PC for my Nano. I later switched to an open source program called Sharepod which works much better and doesn't tie into the damned apple store.
You can also play games, watch HD movies, listen to music, etc., etc., etc. on a Netboook for half the price. It also weighs about the same as an ipad.
As far as content... a Netbook will do EVERYTHING that an ipad will do (plus a whole lot more).
