[QUOTE="bentharbour, post: 1208086, member: 193210"] Well of course, eventually it will be "obsolete" every tech product eventually becomes "obsolete" compared to other products. It may always stay "useful" as long as it runs properly, but it definitely cannot stay up with competing technology in a few years. Look at an iPod, for example, would you consider the first gen iPod (2001) "obsolete?"...I personally would. Although there is still a use for it (assuming it runs correctly), it is not as effective or practical as a modern iPod. To answer the OP...I would say 3-4 more years, and the product will be so outmatched by the competition that it would be considered "obsolete" by many. Again, the difficulty lies in conceptualizing what "obsolete" means to the average consumer. [/QUOTE]
