Hi Olivia, The Bing imagery is available for the OSM tools (Potlach2 via browser and JOSM, the Java OSM editor, possibly others). I don't know but am in the understanding that it's (as of now) not available for other platforms. There may also be a possibility to get access to the Bing imagery for other platforms.
In any case a shortlink to the coverage screenshot of the Bing imagery is http://j.mp/bing-ht-May11 . If you could send a bit more information what areas you are needing I can ask for their availability if they are missing from this coverage. For rural areas (outside the earthquake affected areas) it's noteworthy that the imagery (that I have seen) through the public/free$ providers (such as the public Google/Bing imagery) can be years old. Even nearly 10 years. It would be very good to create a project page into the OSM wiki for your mapping activities (which applies for other projects, too, and needs to be both done and raised on the talk-ht@osm list). As per buying the imagery, I have no idea. But others here do.
