Kip,

A couple of weeks ago I think it was, I posted a message about Terasic and 
the DE0-Nano being on backorder until mid-April.  The official date is April 
17, 2015.  We're pretty close to that date now.  Hoorah.

Here's the direct link to the DE0-Nano page:

With shipping it is kind of pricey, but I've looked all over and I agree 
with you that Terasic does have the best overall deal.
