There are so many gadgets that are available these days, and of course, you cannot afford to pay for all of them. Choose wisely, especially if you know the launch of a new product from the same company is near.

There are a few gadgets that you should avoid buying for now because much improved ones are just around the corner.

1. iPhone 4S

Almost everyone is talking about the new iPhone 5 arriving anytime this year. With a much larger screen, the new iOS 6, faster processor, and even better camera, forget about getting that iPhone 4S this year. It is going to be left in the dust when the new iPhone is released.

2. Samsung Galaxy Note

With Samsung's sales of 7 million Notes worldwide, they are not going to let the momentum slow down. There are rumours that the Galaxy Note 2 will be released in October this year. I am so excited about this!  The specs should be very similar to the Galaxy S3, with a screen size similar to the Galaxy Note.

3. Windows phones

There are quite a number of phones that run on Windows, and the Nokia Lumia 900 is noteworthy for its gorgeous design and not forgeting the HTC Titan II for its amazing 16 MP camera. However, Windows phones are still lagging way behind Android phones and iPhones, especially their multitasking abilities. Their apps are still on the losing end, and I think it will take at least another year before Windows can stage a decent fight.

4. Blackberry phones

When I first heard of this brand, I thought it was a fruit. Gone were their glory days. Blackberry must think of better and more innovative ways to win the phones war. They are planning to launch a phone with the new BlackBerry 10 OS. Still, it doesn't look appetising to me, and yes, their apps are equally boring. Save your money for the next iPhone perhaps.
