I would say that just about every device that is now a productivity device started off being described as an expensive toy.
"The personal computer is an extensive toy. Real people, who do real work, will use a mainframe "
"The Macintosh is an expensive toy. Real people who do real work will use an IBM computer with a command line interface."

"The iphone is an expensive toy. Real people who do real work will use Blackberries".
