Microsoft Surface 7 Inch Tablet In The Works

We know that Microsoft is working on other devices in its Surface range, they have released two tablets so far the Microsoft Surface and the Surface pro, both devices come with a 13 inch display.
Now it would appear that Microsoft are working on other sizes of tablets, and one of those could possibly be a 7 inch Surface tablet, according to Microsoft’s Peter Klien who had the following to say when asked about a 7 inch device.

“So I think we’re really set up to deliver the most versatile set of experiences across form factors, whether that’s 4-inch, 5-inch, 7-inch, 8-inch, 10-inch, 13-inch. And along with our partners in the ecosystem, we’ll work through that based on underlying demand.”
It would be interesting to see what a 7 inch Surface tablet from Microsoft is like, although they would need to price the device competitively to compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the Google Nexus 7 and Apple’s more expensive iPad Mini.
