A pen-tablet is suited for applications which are too complex for an iPad and too simple for a netbook. That's a ridiculously thin niche.
Tablet + pen = 2 hands busy, you've lost most of your comfort and mobility advantage compared to a netbook user.
For the narrow niche of applications which require drawing on the screen, you can simply design a capacitive pen for iPad; you'll never amortize the development of a dedicated hardware, let alone OS.

And you pretty much need a Wacom-style digitizer in order to register pen strokes with the precision and pressure sensitivity required of art or handwriting applications.
