That is a constant with any electronic device... say like buying a computer or digital camera (or HDTV)... if you wait six months or a year there will alway be a better unit for the same price (or same spec unit at lower price)... so you never buy anything because you are alway waiting for the better next generation device.


How is that for justifying my irresponsible spending habits?
