This is exactly the question I had when they renamed it in the first place -- "play" is an inaccurate term for their intended usage of the store.

How so?

I think they meant play as in playground

Right, which is inappropriate for a business-oriented device or service.
Only if you subscribe to a narrow, business-school centric, "very serious" view of business.
What? While I can certainly appreciate fun in the workplace, that is not the central tenet of most businesses, and even at the places where it might happen to be that way then you're still going to require some "serious" apps, such as for email, chat, remote desktop, server and asset administration, etc.
Why are none of those fun?
