The official Microsoft Developer Twitter account claims the firm’s latest tablets are almost sold out.
Whether the claims are true or just being used to generate a bit of hype ahead of the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 street date on October 22nd remains to be seen, although Microsoft hasn’t actually stated how many devices have been sold.
