I guess I think of it this way: is it useful and does it have some value to you(perhaps entertainment value in the case of the iPhone)?
I wouldn't buy and iPhone because there are other things I'd rather have instead, but if you feel your iPhone is worth what you paid for it in terms of usefulness and entertainment value, I'm not going to tell you you wasted your money.
We all spend money on stuff that someone else would think is useless, not worth is, wasteful, etc.
A lot of anime products are expensive and narrow in usefulness, but if we like anime enough to buy them and feel that they were worth the money to us, then we weren't wasting our money, it merely seems like to that an outside observer with different values and priorities.
so would you recommend the iPod touch instead?
