Microsoft’s new Blue OS might be installed on smaller tablets too

Just as we told you a long time ago, Windows Blue is expected to spawn several new tablets, some of which are expected to join the 7 and 8-inch battle currently dominated by iPad mini and Nexus 7.

According to a report by PCMag, a Windows Blue tablet with a 7 or 8-inch display could be priced anywhere between $199 (€155) and $349 (€270), as Microsoft is looking to make its devices more competitive for Apple, Google, Samsung and Amazon products.

Of course, Microsoft doesn’t comment on this, but if all previous reports prove to be true, Blue should hit the market as soon as this summer.

Windows Blue won’t be a standalone operating system, but only an upgrade to Windows 8, and is likely to come with dedicated versions for both tablets and mobile phones.
