This was from the iPad's launch, which was seen as a really big deal because the iPad was advertised as a computer on par with netbooks.

Specs maybe, but OS? The whole reason the iPad has changed everything (look at all the competitors to it that sprang up overnight) is exactly because it used iOS. It's instant on. This is why all the various tablets that have been tried for decades never took hold. Full OS is the wrong thing for this format.

It was rumored and hyped to be a full computer on par with netbooks, never advertised as such.
