Why are there so many Tech toys out there.

Grr. Today I guess i've been on sort of an iPad or e-reader binge. Saw the new Nook Touch advertised in the Best Buy ads, and I decided that I would go there and do some research. I really wanted something that is super portable to carry all of my gaming books, character sheets, etc. Currently I carry around a backpack with some rules books, a 1" binder for character sheets, and various other items. Or I have paper sheets that are handed out for games. I think it would be great to have something like that where I can take out a large chunk of stuff out of my bag.
But then I keep coming back to the same counter arguments. "You don't need one of those. You don't have enough money to afford a new toy. If you buy one now six months down the road it will get replaced with something newer and better. Don't you have a vacation coming up in November that you could use the money for instead."
Maybe I really do need to get off my arse and sell my old WoW:TCG Rares, even if I only get a couple hundred for them It's something I could put towards other stuff.
Like art or badges... Dangit there I go again...

We got both the iPad original amnd the iPad 2 (thanks to a very nice bison friend). You can come out to Illinois and try them out.
It's like the new laptops I keep looking at. I want one, but I really don't need it. I have a perfectly fine desktop system that does everything I need it to. Plus I'm getting a better laptop through work, so I can just use that on trips.
So that would be replacing the entire system with a new heating/cooling system and removing a lot of the old stuff.
