What does the price reduction of the 7 inch android tablet really mean- Priceangels.com

Back in December of 2012 Dealnews reported that Boston-based brokerage firm Detwiler Fenton estimated lower than expected sales of Redmond-based Microsoft Surface tablet. They suggested that Microsoft should lower the price of their 7 inch android tablet. Instead of taking that advice the Redmond-based software giant stuck with the price and sales have continued to fall short of expectations. After months of rumors about what Microsoft will do about their struggling tablet they finally decided to give us a hefty price drop.fd23QD23rs

According to the latest ads from Staples,starting tomorrow, the two versions of the Surface tablet will be slashed between 21% and 30% . That Microsoft would be slashing the prices of their tablets now brings up a few questions. Are they trying to entice buyers to move back inventory as some sources have suggested? Could the price reduction mean that there is a new Surface in the works? With Barnes & Noble announcing that they will no longer produce the Nook tablet will Microsoft take that over and merge it with the Surface? with the new reorganization are they taking the Surface in a new direction? Or is the Surface doomed to follow the same path as the Kin and Zune?
