Agree, and I think more "toys" are on the way, possibly an Apple-branded TV next.
And calling tablets "toys" is not really accurate. They are taking off in business in a big way. I keep going to meetings in which execs are toting their iPads around, and amongst sales people they are ubiquitous. Also seeing them turn up in hospitals, doctor's offices, schools, etc.
When your surgeon is studying your x-rays on his iPad before surgery, calling it a "toy" really goes out the window. No more a toy than your work PC or laptop, on which you can also play games and surf the net.
And speaking of which, macs are going gangbusters, while PCs are in decline. When I heard the VP of my group talking about "the post PC era" at an all hands recently, I knew we were in for a sea change.
