Recent figures from analysts IDC show that 49.2 million tablets shipped in January, February and March - and about 900,000 of those were Surfaces.

Both kinds of Surface?

Wow that's not good.

900,000 sounds a bit on the optimistic side for 3 months given the just-released numbers from MSFT's 10-K filing:

The 1.7 million lifetime sales figure is just a ballpark estimate, based on a very crude $500 ASP.  The more Surface Pros are in the mix, the lower the actual unit sales must have been.  I also wonder whether revenue from the keyboard covers is included here.
