It feels like a toy and misses many essential features that we have come accustomed to in actual tech gadgets. It is a toy that has one specific purpose. It would be an insult to compare it with something as technologically advanced as a smartphone. Though a lot of it doesn't have to do with the technology that is inside it and rather what the platform holder is doing, or not doing, with it. I mean it's a pretty bold move to have a bluetooth capable mobile device that does not allow you to couple your bluetooth devices with it.

I will consider it not a toy once it delivers technology that is from this century.

So you're saying it's like a toy because it's essentially like a Fisher Price tablet? One function, locked features, minimal interface, lack of app substance? I can get behind that definition. It's a pretty fun toy. 

Yes, pretty much exactly that. It is a fun toy but I'd rather not like to call it a sophisticated piece of tech. And I don't really think Nintendo wants to call it that either. It is what it is and it sells because of what it is.
