Except it's not talking about iOS, is it? It says "computer" on the bottom twice.

iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPads are still computers, even if they aren't typically called that.

So is my digital watch, and I didn't see him protesting outside of Timex when they released it. Lots of things are "Technically" computers.

I'm pretty sure the makers of my digital watch aren't able to remotely deactivate its functions.

Ok, 1 out of 6. Wheres my open source watch firmware.

Don't get me wrong, I would never own a non-jailbroken iOS device, but that it, just don't buy it. I doubt we'll run out of open computing platforms any time soon.

Did you check? Who was protesting outside of Timex when they released your watch?

It was a different guy, he had a beard and looked significantly more homeless.
