    According to Microsoft's Store, they'll ship the 4GB/64GB model by 10/22, the 4GB/128GB by 10/25, and the 2 versions with 8GB will ship by 12/15 So..do you interpret this as a sign of great demand, of manufacturing problems, or something else entirely? Meantime, Best Buy is showing the Haswell version of the Lenovo Yoga with 8GB and a 256GB SSD for $1,199 online. Unfortunately, it's "not available online" and no store within a couple of hundred miles has it, so... What's taking manufacturers so long to get their Haswell-based products into wide availability?

    I don't know the price of the surface or v2 model but my guess is releasing the v2 whilst v1 stocks are high would mean a price cut of the v1 model to make it more appealing to purchase.

      They have not clue how the tablet/smartphone business is run. At the time you make an announcement, you set a real known release date with pre-ordering available at the date of the announcement.

      I'd rather be phishing!

              Because you don't need to.

                    True. This is as low as it gets.

                      But I don't reply out of spite or to be vindictive. ;)

                        No. More like "I voted someone up because of, let´s say, an admirable blindfolded statement"... ;)
