Maybe that's because Lattice only announces devices when you can
actually buy them and not 12 months before a "normal" customer can get
his hands on some engineering samples? :)

Try figuring out what the address is going to be after that...

LOL

actually yes. I have just looked at Xilinx website online shop and all
distributors

there is ABSOLUTLY no deliver information for ANY spartan-3A or 3AN
device yet.
And S3A is not new anymore. Even S3AN is out for some time, still NO
BUYING
options, nothing nothing nothing. Xilinx has really mis-understood the
meaning of
"online shop"...

lets hope XP2 devices are readily available, the RAM to flash transfer
seems nice
feature, also there are again nice small foot print package options
offered

XP and S3AN have no good package options, so XP2 fills the gap here

Another example:

Look in the online shop of the XC3S500E in hand solderable PS2008. Nill,
Zilch, Nada...  

Then go to digikey.: On stock ...

IS XP2 in some online shop, with online pricing?

If you like something hand solderable for XC3S500E have a look at out
Craignell modules http://www.enterpoint.co.uk/component_replacements/craignell.html.
We also have a new version coming that will allow operation down to 3V
and going up to 5.5V supply and IO. These new versions are a few weeks
away yet. As usual educational and bulk order discounts available and
they will be in our on-line shop when the new batch are available.

If you need something more advanced we have Darnaw1 as well.

I Just checked their website, but this device is not yet available on
their store. XP however has online pricing, and availability for some
of the parts. I suppose it is just a matter of Mouser (powering the
web store) buying the parts.

I already have a selfmade board with XC3S500-PQ208 running. 
The 500E was bought at digikey.
Programming is done via USB by a FT2232 and a modified xc3sprog

My FAE, who is a good chap, assures me that the S3A is just about there 
- approx 6 weeks before the parts I am interested in get into distribution.

No doubt Steve, who is also a good chap, will jump in with the 
authoritative picture.

Tim,

Unfortunately, Steve Knapp has left Xilinx to pursue an opportunity that 
intrigued him.  We will miss him.

As far as I am aware, the Spartan 3A, 3AN rollout is proceeding just 
fine.  There are ES available now, with production coming very soon.

Distributors will not stock ES, as they can not return it.

Peter and I have made some suggestions (like accepting unsold ES back 
from distributors), but I don't know how far that goes (what may work 
for LX330T ES, may not work for 3S400A).

In any event, we are still trying to work on the "store."

As always, if anyone has an issue with getting parts, Peter and I will 
intervene and try to find out what the problem is.

If you are willing to place an order, the distributor will order from us 
(immediately), and your parts will be on their way.  The only case where 
they may not be on their way is if you have ordered production parts, 
and that part is not in production yet, or you have ordered some 
package/part/RoHS combination that needs to be assembled (because no one 
is ordering it).

Be very careful about leaded, vs "un-leaded" (RoHS), as we can not ship 
any non-RoHS to the EU any longer (the fences are up!).
