Everyone realizes that there’s something of an early-adopter tax. Buying gadgets the day they come out costs a whole lot more than waiting. Look at the Razr. That thing was super expensive when it first came out, now it might as well grow on trees. Everyone has one. Typically this happens on the time frame of [...]
