It's been over a month since that press release announcing them, but I haven't seen them anywhere. It did say "limited quantities' or some such, though.

Yeah, thanks. I had found the Hitachi page.

It looks like Dell is offering them as an option for the Precision workstations, a $500 option that is (ouch).

found one place with em - http://www.axiontech.com/prdt.php?src=FG&item=61276

Found a few other sites that list it backordered for 2 weeks so it looks like 2 weeks before they become widely available. Also looks they are slightly over $1/GB which isn't that bad actually. They also seem to only be available in SATA so far.
