The 7-inch tablets are very successful. By looking at the sales of devices like the iPad Mini, the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire, and we can realize this. Even on one occasion we talked about how sales of iPad Mini would end the 10-inch iPad. Today, more and more manufacturers that are committed to this type of product, and it seems that this year another company to come into this market is Microsoft .
Surely recall that two weeks ago we mentioned that the requirements to run Windows 8 on tablets had decreased, and need at least a lower resolution that had opened the doors for manufacturers to create Windows 7-inch tablets. It seems that Microsoft is already working on a model of the Surface will measure indeed 7 inches, but in addition to this would be related in some way to the Xbox brand.
According to the Wall Street Journal, this was not part of the original plans of Microsoft, but due to the high demand for small tablets, the software giant has decided to opt for a smaller Surface.
Consider that the 10-inch Surface has had good sales since it was released, so we're not entirely sure how Microsoft will fare with this new project.
