People who try to predict what things are fads and what will stick around are notoriously off much of the time. Mostly because you never know what's going to catch on with the public... that, and we're not psychic.
If memory serves, Steve Balmer said something similar when the iphone came out. That's comparing apples and koi oranges, though.
Time will tell. Maybe it's a fun fad. Maybe it lasts. Maybe it's around until something better comes along. But, it's sure grown out of it's infomercial origins into a legitimate product and industry in the meantime.
To each their own.
