New Surface tablet is selling out

Is it a publicity stunt, a miscalculation by Microsoft, or an actual sign that the tablets have been selling well? At this point it’s all speculation, but the unofficial Twitter word from Microsoft is that their new Surface devices are running in short supply.

It soon may be tough to find one of Microsoft’s Surface tablets, the company said.

The Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 “are close to selling out,” Microsoft’s developers account tweeted earlier Friday.

At this time, it’s unclear how many tablets Microsoft made and what “close to selling out” actually means.
