I used to get them right from AnalogDevices, but these past 2 years, they show that they (their evaluation boards) won't be in stock until April
There are plenty of other places to get Analog Devices gyros nicely mounted on evaluation boards. I've bought some nice 300 deg/s ones from Sparkfun.com, for example.
