Yeah I'd say "real" operating systems was a poor choice of words. Any operating system is a real operating system.
What I'd say is that I want a tablet with a more robust operating system. Namely, one that has a real file management system and leans more towards being a tablet PC than a media consumption tablet.
I like playing around with my girlfriend's iPad, it's great as an e-reader, for reading news, checking e-mail quickly, reading comics etc. But with it's phone OS, it's just too far from being a computer to fit my work-related needs. Which is my main need in a tablet as I just don't have any need for a pure media consumption tablet. At least not at $500 plus.
I don't necessarily need a full tablet PC, especially since the trade off is much shorter battery life than the iPad. At least for the present--if they could make a Windows 7 tablet that gets 8+ hours of battery life and has as similar form factor to the iPad I'd be all over.
But that's probably years away so I'm fine with a fairly simple OS--as long as it has an open file management system, true drag and drop, USB support for flash drives etc., can run Flash etc. etc.
