The iPad mini should of course be viewed in such that its a racing certainty that it will have a 326ppi 'retina' display before the end of 2013.

That was true even when I were a lad. My Dad would say "Oh why not just wait as there will be something better out" - Well there will always be something better out soon; that's the nature of technology.
Having a good idea about product cycles does help however; to avoid buying an old product a week before the new one is released; but when making any purchase above a few hundred pounds you need to put in your research anyway, and in these days of that there internet, there's no excuse for not putting in the effort.
Another example - Last Christmas I bought a Blu-Ray player - partly because it had iPlayer, now about 10 months later I can get iPlayer on my Sky box thus rendering the Blu Ray a bit useless; but that's no problem I had 10 months use I wouldn't otherwise have done.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

Here's a nifty little use for Android: a full HD media player with wi-fi and USB and SD slots, all built into a device the size of a memory stick, for £40.

That said there is something to be said for buying things more or less as soon as they come out. Your product will current for longer.
I built my PC from bits which had only been out for about a week or so. If I'd waited months I could have gotten said bits cheaper, but then you just end up having to use your old "slow" computer for longer and you own the product for a shorter time before it's superceded.Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.
