| Nexus 7 sales hit one million per month |
| By Thom Holwerda on 2012-10-31 22:36:57 |
| "At the beginning, it was, for instance, 500K units a month, then maybe 600, 700K. This latest month, it was close to 1 million," Asustek Chief Financial Officer David Chang told The Wall Street Journal. Very much deserved. You can pry my beloved Alexis (my Nexus 7's name, normally written in Hangul but OSNews can't render it) from my cold, dead hands. I don't think I've ever had a device that I liked more than this thing. Note this is sales, not shipped. |

"comparing all iPads' sales to Nexus 7's? Are they serious?" As serious as articles comparing sales of all Android smartphones to iPhone sales. |

The native Korean would certainly pronounce it as 'A-reck-sit'. I am a Korean-NZer by the way. Edited 2012-11-01 09:56 UTC |

Nah, the majority would HAVE to be Windows 8 / Blackberry / WebOS based ones, right? I'm sad that the last two don't have bigger market share, rather happy that Windows 8 has really been 'meh' to most people I've talked to about it. I still don't really like Android, but being able to easily install Linux on the Nexus 7 makes it an almost buy for me... |

I am guessing the rest are Kindles and Nook's. The ipad,kindle, and nook account probably for the top 3 marketshare right now. |

25-14 = 11 million Android tablets per quarter is around 3.5 million per month, maybe 4 at the end of the quarter. My guess is that 1 million Nexus 7 are joined by 1 million Kindle Fire, 1 million other brand (Transformer, Nook, Galaxy Tab etc.) and 1 million no-name Tablets from China. The news that Amazon reported a sales spike after the iPad Mini announcement[1] points to Amazon competing with Apple rather than only against other Android manufacturers. So I don't think the Kindle Fire put a major dent in Nexus 7 sales. [1] http://allthingsd.com/20121026/a... |

| Great looking tablet |

| Love the look of this tablet, but shame it's pleasing aesthetics weren't carried across to the Nexus 10. Think I'll wait for the next revision. |

Oh no doubt - I only started learning last week, so cut me some slack :). A lot of the contextual rules are hard to learn, and since I don't know anybody who speaks the language, I have to do it all on my own. I have an innate thing for languages, sure, but Korean is very, very different from the usual Germanic/Romanic I already know. I'll get there. One way or the other. |

| sales numbers of Nexus 7 are useless ? |

In my country I still see: "Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet. We're working to bring devices to more countries as quickly as possible. Please check back again soon." The iPad is available everywhere I believe ? Yes, I'm sure I can buy it from a different country but it would probably not work all that well. Maybe even the appstore won't work properly. I don't know. So why do people compare the numbers ? You aren't comparing oranges and oranges. |
