In today's ever-changing world in which technology is always getting better soon, why would you immediately buy a product that you know is just going to be bigger/better in the next year. Why not wait? This is the topic for Damon Darlin's article in the NY Times called "Applause, Please, for Early Adopters." It addresses the topic that while we all know that the iPad just came out and is only going to get better in the next couple months (ie the release of the 3G iPad recently). It surpassed 1 million sales recently -- 28 days sooner than the iPhone. Adoption of new technology is happening more and more quickly and everyone wants the newest toy. Even if it means that it will soon be out-of-date.
