Me either. It's really radio / wi fi / cell based devices. Given today's devices that most people carry though, I think it's an effective generalization.
On a recent Qantas flight I noted that Furby's were not allowed at _ANY_ time (like cell phones). I don't know if it's because they have radio device or they're just darned annoying.
