They seem to be available for very good prices in the States. I don't know why they're still so damned expensive up here in Canada. This is at least 40-50% cheaper than I've found on other Canadian sites.

And I haven't been able to find any in brick stores in Vancouver (not that I tried looking outside the downtown core - if I'm going to have to travel out of my usual haunts, I might as well just order it online, I reckon).

I guess the Canadian stock was bought when the $CAN was worth $0.78US?

I thought of places like eBay, too, but once you take into account the shipping costs (usually in the $24+ range), it just becomes nutty.

Once mine arrives, I'll see if I like it. If I do, I may end up buying a backup from the same place.

As for the Sierra keyboards... haven't found *any* Canadian sites or stores stocking it from my 10 minute search. And TheNerds.com has 'em for $80US but doesn't ship to Canada (that's an old refrain I read often ).

I don't know what people are going to do in the next few months when they go looking for portable bluetooth keyboards... not much of a reasonably-priced selection out there, it seems... .
