When to buy your new gadget

Try Decide.com.  This site collects data on new tv's, computers and digital cameras and advises you on the best time to buy, if at all, the device.  Based on historical tracking information on products, the site can advise you to hold off buying a certain device because it is due to drop in price shortly or to not buy it at all.  For a recent customer, I wish this site was available a couple of years ago.  He purchased a laptop that was made with a defective video chip and now is a brick, as the warranty has expired and HP has resisted all efforts to make the computer right.
