Apple will apparently be announcing a new iPhone on Wednesday & probably a new smaller iPad next month. Last week Amazon announced updated & new Kindle models. So these will be the gadgets that people will be looking to buy a presents this fall.
But why? Do you need to buy a new phone every year? Of course not. But the Apple fanboys have to waste money on the latest idevice to prove how hip they are.
As for the new Kindles, well at least there is an actual new one. The Paperwhite is a different background. Not the grayish background that all e-readers have, but instead a more natural white, backlit reader that is supposed to be easier on the eyes, & simply easier to read. Price isn't that bad either. And the original Kindle is now under $70.
Now will I be buying any of these things? No. I don't have the money or the inclination to waste money on something I may or may not use. I bought a refurbished iPod 3 years ago. That I do use, but maybe only 5 hours a week. Your results may vary.
