Newark Electronics / Element-14 is probably your best bet, since they're
an (the) official distributor.

Looks like they are currently out of stock.

It's the way it's been going.  They get a batch in and get sold out in a
heart beat.  You can put in for advance ordering notice.  Just click the
"Contact me when it stock" and they'll let you know and you can call in
an order.  I did that and put two on order.  I'm expecting my two in
just over a week now.

You can also order some up on Amazon.com but it looks like you end up
paying a premium.

Newark also has a number of accessories for the Pi...

If you want an alamode board (Arduino daughter board for the Raspberry
Pi) you'll need to order that from a different outfit.  I've got one of
those on the way as well.  With that, you can use a number of Arduino
shield boards, like relay and servo boards, with the RP.
