Microsoft’s money man and chief financial officer Peter Klein made it clear that we could see some smaller Windows tablets appear to battle in the lucrative 7″ tab market, with the software giant ready to open the smaller, narrower floodgate if demand’s there.
Speaking in the sort of business language you’d expect from a Microsoft bean organiser, Klein said in response to a question about the possibility of smaller Windows tabs: “We’ve done a lot of the hard work in the developer platform. We are well set up to respond to demand as we see it.”
Demand for Windows tablets in general doesn’t appear to be that big, though, so god knows how he intends to gauge public demand for a thing that doesn’t even exist yet. Maybe members of the public email him with requests to make things? [ZDnet]

Is Nokia Working on a Windows 8 Tablet?
I’m thinking of getting a Surface RT as a midway between my windows 8 pro laptop and a windows 8 phone.
I’m (hopefully) starting a masters in September and wanted the RT to make notes with in my lecture instead of carrying around a full laptop.
Can anyone with an RT tell me if the things are actually worth it? Reviews sort vary and I just wanted someone who owned one to let me know briefly what they think of it.
The girlfriend has one (for exactly the same purpose as you actually) and she says it’s made taking notes in lectures easy and discrete. Apparently all you can hear in her lectures are the clicking of keyboards so having the silent soft touch cover is a plus for her.
Sometimes the keyboard can irritate her though, especially if she’s used her laptop one recently.
Ah good stuff, cheers!
