Farnell and RS Components are the only companies listed on RaspberryPi.org authorized to sell the official devices so far.

Additionally, their is an official Wiki page of additional sources that the RPi can be purchased from, outside the UK. (Thanks @Shane Hudson for this information!)

You need to register your interest before you can purchase:

As already pointed out, the only two distributors are Farnell and RS Components, however they go under other names in different countries. For a complete list see the public wiki page.

There are three places you can buy Raspberry-Pi from.

If you are deadly keen to get hold of one, then they are available on eBay:

However, you are likely to pay over the list price.

I registered with the RS Components form to express interest. It needs your name and email. I did this on March 3.

They sent me an authorization code and an individual link on May 22 that I used to order.
