I would be interested in some Nexus tablet numbers

It sold 1m in Nov, so probably another 2m in December. Worldwide btw

Really? Is that all? I'd have expected much more.

makes surface look great for a new entrant. 

Nexus 7 is a new entrant too...or how do you define new?

The idea of an Android powered tablet is nothing new.

The idea of a Windows RT and/or Windows 8 tablet however...

Which is why sales should be higher.  Expect Surface sales to be something like 100,000 in feb, march, etc

Well Windows phones and tablets still have anemic developer support.

Why buy an RT tablet with little to no software when you can get an iPad for the same price and offers a much wider assortment of quality apps and games?

The main selling points for a Windows tablet over an iPad (for me) is Microsoft Office and Xbox games

Anyway, you're right about the lack of apps. If I were M$ I'd do a developerathon (or whatever they called it) like Blackberry did in which they gave any devs who submitted an app over a designated 36 hours period $100 dollers. It worked for BB, because in 36 hours they increased the number of apps in their App Store by 15k
