> Why do tablets need a different OS?

Honestly I think primary reason that iOS tablets have been successful is because they have a different OS. Fundamentally iOS is far less capable but also far less difficult to use and fragile than a full-fledged OS. A tablet is less PC and more consumer electronics. And that's not a hardware distinction, it's a software distinction.
