Maybe I spoke too soon about the Surface tablet. Yesterday when the price points leaked before the preorders started, I said no way these things will move off the shelves. 24 hours later the Surface tablets are all sold out. Looks like people took some risks on this tablet. There are no videos showing what the tablet can and cant do. So purchasing this device is a bit of a gamble. Hopefully we can video reviews of the Surface sooner than later.
It seems the prophets of doom may have been wrong about demand for the Microsoft Surface, as the cheapest of the 3 packages have now sold out on pre-order, and have gone on back order.
The $499 tablet, sold without the touch cover, is now on 3 weeks back order (which presumably means about 2 weeks after the other Surface tablets are delivered).
Microsoft is rumoured to have ordered up to 5 million Surface tablets for Q4 2012, so hopefully this level of interest will continue and help make the RT platform a success.
