The Microsoft Surface RT tablet became available for pre-order back on October 16th and we've seen select model's availability (or shipping date) shift from October 26th to shipments not expected for up to three weeks. We are seeing this happen in different areas and in some cases affect all three options RT surface.
Microsoft's online store for the U.S. market is no longer listed any surface of the three options RT is available on October 26th. Shipping estimates range from "within three weeks" for the 32GB model and "1-2 weeks" for the 32GB and 64GB models that come with covers.
We've even had one tipster report receiving notice from Microsoft asking they pick up their Surface on the October 27th instead of the October 26th launch date. Not sure if this is due to holding inventory for walk-in customers on the 26th or that pre-order shipments to the store have been delayed. We'll try to get clarification on this one.
We still do not know what as far as sales representatives is a major concern, but based on changes in the estimated shipping date, it looks like most are opting for the 32GB Surface RT without the cover. Regardless, it is nice to see the order of the surface as well and hope that demand will remain high and the assembly line of Microsoft can keep up with the speed.
