That may well be the case for many of us, but not everyone looking for one is currently without. If you have a functional reader, and are just deciding when to upgrade, $50 may be worth the six months of using the old solution. Or, in this case, three months may be worth the wait to see if you like the new one, or if a new model might mean a great deal on the old model.
My smartphone died in January, and I have been using my wife's old phone while waiting for the iPhone and associated wannabes to hit the shelves before I decide on one of those or something else. Yeah, I have missed the functionality, but I can still make calls, and I have revived my old PDA for another round of service -- the world still spins. And... it's better than kicking myself six months later. Yes, something better may come along right after I spend my money, but there is still such a thing as a bad time to buy.
