According to the Wall Street Journal, quoting a statement from Asus Chief Financial Officer, currently there are around one million copies of Nexus 7 shipped monthly. “At the beginning, it was, for instance, 500,000 units a month, then maybe 600, 700,000. This latest month, it was close to 1 million” devices, he said. This is significantly better than the analysts' predictions that are based on Google's financial results that estimated a total of one million Nexus 7 copies were shipped during the quarter.

According to estimates by analyst Strategy Analytics, during the last quarter there were 25 million shipped tablet devices across the world. Of this number, Apple has delivered 14 million iPads. As Google launched their Nexus 10, they are certainly looking to expand on the tablet market. The only problem is the apps, but these are expected to come as Google is taking steps to attract the developers to create them specifically for tablets instead of just porting ones from smartphones.
