Hot new! The attached image is taken from the most recent LEGO Education catalog (North America). It’s currently being sent to people on Lego’s mailing list. As you can read, RobotC is available for purchase from LEGO and is branded as a LEGO Education product!

In case you don’t know - RobotC is an alternative programming platform for NXT and RCX. It is a C-based programming language (with some C++ extensions). It was design by Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy, and been freely availalble as time-limited beta for quite some time. It is now sold as a LEGO Educational product for $49 (Single Copy). I’ve heard that a direct download option will be available soon from CMU, hopefully for somewhat cheap price.
