I personally think that a constant steam of new technology isn't moving fast enough. I'm also searching for something that's "better, faster, and nicer". Trendiness really doesn't matter to me. I usually get tired of technology when I notice it to be too slow or unstable. At that point, I'm looking for an upgrade to what I have. The more generations of devices that come out between my inital purchase and the point I'm ready to upgrade, the better.
