Microsoft Surface Struggles to Ship A Million Units

zacharye writes "While some see potential in Microsoft's Surface tablet, most industry watchers appear to have written off the device at this point. Orders were reportedly cut in half following a slow launch, and Microsoft's debut slate has been hammered time and time again by reviewers and analysts. The latest to pile on is Boston-based brokerage firm Detwiler Fenton, which estimates that when all is said and done, Microsoft will have sold fewer than 1 million Surface tablets in the slate's debut quarter." Still better than 25,000.

Not storage, review

[SuperKendall]

meanwhile buying extra sd cards for dirt cheap gives you 100x more storage capacity then some 64gb tablet.

The "hipster photographers" already have those SD cards because you need them for backup.

Meanwhile the same people are not using the tablet for storage so much as the ability to REVIEW images on a large display gives you much more powerful and quicker ability toto see if you've missed anything important or are somehow screwing up shots. Even the nicest 4" display on an pro camera doesn't hold a candle to an iPad display.
