> Evolving technology means they are continually developing new and better
technology. IMHO, it is really much too soon to jump to the conclusion they
are following the path of planned obsolescence. Sometimes a new technology
just evolves so quickly the turn around time is very rapid. Turn around
being when the next thing issues from R&R. Which is why it is a good idea to
wait a while with a really new technology -- wait until new developments
come at a bit of a slower pace.

It doesn't matter if it is an evolving technology like computers and digital
cameras, or a mature technology like automobiles and televisions,
obsolescence is obsolescence. Manufacturers love evolving technology, as
they can make products obsolete as fast as they want, and have a valid
excuse to hide behind.
