Oh yes, it is still available...for now.  Apple isn't even mentioning, 
though, that you can use it with the MacTel's.

There is a rumor that Apple will soon introduce a spreadsheet program to 
add to the iWord bundle called "Numbers."

All signs point to AW being a lame duck.  Also, if one is considering 
purchasing an Office set of programs, it should be noted that not many 
other programs can open and work with AW format files.  (Though Dataviz's 
converters handle some AW files.)
