That article appears to be right about "limited availability" for 5870s. I just checked BestBuy, MWave, Amazon, and Zipzoomfly and only found one brand in stock at Zipzoomfly.
Maybe they're using them for X2s.
Definitely will be the single slot performance champ if it launches soon though!

ive heard yields really high, so low 5850 stock.
what is the limiting factor between the two cards (50 and 70 not the x2) then, is it just firmware/bios or something like that?
That does look awesome and I want one but.... Why couldn't it just use the 2x 6-pin configuration like the 5870?
Feeding it isn't a problem (1100/1200W PSU) its just I only have 2x 6-pins available.
