When there is something superior available.
Went from PDA to Sony 505 because of increased battery life.
Went from 505 to iPad due to better night-reading while maintaining good battery life.
Went from iPad to Nook Color due to smaller form-factor.
Went from Nook Color to iPad3 due to increased resolution.
If a iPad Mini comes out, that would tempt me. If a Kindle with built-in even lighting that made it good for night reading came out, that might tempt me.
I'd say it is rare for devices to break before they become obsoleted by a better model becoming available.
