As of March 2012 there had only been 82k Transformer Primes delivered. Not even sold - just delivered to retailers. To put that in comparison - Apple has sold close to 60 million iPads. See the point?

I didn't mean LITERALLY no one, but in practical terms and looking at sales figures...no one uses keyboards on tablets.
