That's great, except they're already relatively hard to find as-is. (If you click on the links on that page -- Adafruit, Sparkfun and Pimoroni -- the RP2040-based products are pretty much all out of stock). Sort of reminds me of the Pi Zero, which in theory costs $5, but was pretty hard to find at that price for a long time.

I buy from all of those places, but when they are sold out I also check digikey (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/raspberry-pi/SC09...) and canakit (https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-pico.html). They both have it now. Digikey says "2 in stock" but I think this really means "2 per customer" because there is another view I found where it looks like they have 14000+ in stock (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/evaluation-boards...)
