When was this lens introduced, and is there any chance of it beeing replaced soon? (20-70 maybe?) for example at Photokina? I'm looking at it's price-history in Norway now, and it have severely fallen in price during the last six months. When I bought the 10D in October, this lens costed: $2100+ in Norway, and now it's down to: $1687. Local price-war going on (yeah, all numbers are "Cheapest at moment" for Norway), or could Canon be replacing this soon?

I doubt if there is a replacement soon - the 24-70 is a relatively new lens, built to replace the 28-70 just a couple of years ago IIRC.
