Buying electronics now is a very weird experience. Especially in certain categories even just waiting a month can make a big difference. So it's kind of the reverse of "know when to fold 'em".
I'm buying a flash mp3 player. I've been wanting to since last year but I had set the following criteria:
- at least 256MB
- operates as flash USB drive with no drivers
- FM tuner
- replacable battery
- under $150
Now the one I'm buying satisfies those at $65. I was waiting a bit extra long because it looks like new player will satisfy a couple of new points:
- replaceable flash memory
- at least 1gb
- under $100
So should I keep waiting? I was too tempted by geting all my old criteria at a lower price. I'm also following my oldest tech buying tenet: wait until state of the art kicks but than buy at the lowest end.
