Not sure about all the areas I'll be in, but I'm staying in the Northgate area. I'll keep Best Buy and Staples in mind - it should be pretty easy to get to one of them. Thanks for all the advice!

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll wait - it's probably only a couple months, and even if the hardware/software improvements are minor, they would still be nice to have.
