While I've seen definitions of 'gadget' that make it out to be a toy, that's neither universal nor modernly common. OS X's dictionary says "a small mechanical device or tool, esp. an ingenious or novel one". I wouldn't call "ingenious" a disparaging adjective.
Plus, sites like Engadget and gdgt clearly embrace the idea of gagdets as being interesting, if not quite useful.
