Do not believe this was at all true. When Steve Jobs showed the iPad people were pretty amazed right off the bat.

I mean it was basically this piece of glass that was pretty thin.

I’m not talking about Steve’s big reveal. It was leaked long before that and everyone said it was dumbest thing, just like what we’re seeing with the headset now.

Exactly. It was all "It's just a big iPhone, that's dumb lol!"

And now Apple is the only tablet in town, they own the market.

Same with the watch, and the iPod back in the day.

Yes lol I remember hearing that line over and over again. That's why I give a little credence to Apple's track record.
