When will US electronic products start coming down in price?

[tuvor]

I've had my eye on a Palm T/X for over a year now. Currently $299 in the USA, $399 here.

That was fine a year ago, or more, but with a $US now worth about $1.10 CDN, shouldn't prices be coming down significantly soon? How long does that exchange rate have to remain where it is before we start to see that translate into cheaper electronics?

I recall Canadian electronic prices on Palms dropping from 50% higher to about 33% higher than the US counterparts when the $CDN was rising about three years ago, so I expect it should happen at some point as long as it's clear we're headed in the direction of parity.

1. Could you buy it online...

from an American source and pay in US$? Or would shipping and duty charges kill any exchange rate savings.

Just wonderin....

2. Don't hold your breathe...

I am old enought to remember when our dollar was worth more than the US dollar prior to 1976, and the same goods still cost more than the States.
