Windows Blue would be an optimized version of the latest OS and would also be cheaper. In all likelihood, we can expect a 7-8.9 inch tablet to be released sometime this year running on this new OS. While the 10-inch Surface tablets are powerful computing devices, seeing the popularity of the 7-inch offerings like Google Nexus 7 and iPad Mini, Microsoft has decided to enter into this space soon. There’s more competition in this market segment and analysts are expecting the 7-inch tablet space to grow more than the full-sized segment. The affordably priced Windows Blue could see a lot of manufacturers coming out with tablets running on this OS priced between $199 and $349. Analysts are also expecting the OS to run on netbook-like devices as well. So, does this mean we can see a Surface Mini coming out in 2013?
