They're just doing this now because manufacturers have found that the only people with the eyesight and dexterity to handle microSD cards are 7 year olds.
QOTD: Only adults have difficulty with childproof caps.
Sure Toys R Us can provide the iPad killer. (Score:5, Funny)

All well and good, until Tabio dies in a freak accident. Next thing you know, they're building a super-powerful robot made in Tabio's image with Tabio's memories.

The only thing I can use my Galaxy S for is word learning and some minimal email checking and messaging, other than that it's just games. Guess it is a toy or maybe I am getting old. Has anyone managed to use their smartphone/tablet/iphone for anything serious?
I use my Droid X to troubleshoot issues with wireless networks, do a bit of mitm experimentation, keep track of website analytics, study various religious text, tune my guitar, chat via IRC, control my home theater system, send WoL packets, monitor police and emergency radios, test various media codecs/protocols, play and record electronic music, manage my business calendar/contacts/transactions...
Oh, and of course, listen to Pandora whilst playing Nethack (most important use EVAR)!
