Remember that the Canadian Dollar has been going up mostly (though not 
entirely) because the US dollar has been going down.  Most electronics 
prices are set based on non-US/CDN currencies so we're unlikely to see a 
decrease in price any time soon.  However, the US is likely to see a 
gradual increase in the price.  Plus none of this will come into play 
(as another person noted) until the current stocks have been replaced 
which could take a while.

Cheers,
Marcus
