It's no fun buying the current model of a product one week and then the next week seeing the new model get released. Fortunately for Mac fans the cycles are more predictable. By simply tracking the average release time of new models and the number of days since the last release, most of the time you can get a pretty good idea if it's a good time to buy or not.
If you are like me you have better things to do with your time than track these details. Fortunately, someone else has done it for use. You can check all the details out here.
As a snapshot of things at this moment, it's a good time to buy (new models just released):
iPods, iPhone, Mac Mini, iMac
It's an ok time to buy (new models have been out a few months):
MacBook, MacBook Pro
You should definitely wait to buy (new models will probably be released soon):
XServe
