NOT buy the latest and greatest model. You always pay more for the newest stuff, and IMHO, the value is questionable. I buy the model (of computer, iPod, etc) that is being closed out. You save some money, still get a full warranty and have most or all of the same functionality.
With technology-based consumer electronics, the "life" of a new anything is 3 to 6 months (maybe a little more), so why pay full freight? When real replacement time comes around in 2-3 years you get whatever is "almost current" then. What bugs me is that stuff --at least a lot of consumer electronics-- just doesn't last as long as I'd like.
I recently bought a 20 GB iPod (mono screen) for myself and got one daughter a Mini. Will probably get my other daughter a 20 GB one soon as I found some the other day at a good price.
