Do you think a game console is a toy?

Give it to them Tachikoma, people love to split hairs & twist the reality to fit their opinion but the fact is a console is a toy, a high-tech toy that does things beyond gaming but it's main funstion is to be used as a toy.

Same goes for a car, it's a mean of transportation, some people develop racing cars & race them, making the driving a sport but it doesn't not change the nature of what a car is & it's primary function, even when racing to go from A to B!

So a cell phone is a toy?

It's a multi-purpose smartphone.

The inclusion of a sim card and focus on messaging and communication retains it's primary intention, though with the features being added as of late such as high end cameras, tv, radio etc, it pushes it into "Multi-function handset".

The Xperia Play very nearly passes as a toy, but fails completely, at being anything other than a poor device.
