maybe a 7-inch Surface tablet or smartwatch?

More rumors about a sub 10 inch tablets is on the way. Peter Klein, Microsoft’s chief financial officer, said yesterday, “We…are working closely with OEMs on a new suite of small touch devices powered by Windows.”

Most of the rumor buzz seems to be around a 7-inch Windows tablet, but this could be anything. How about those smartwatches we reported on a little while back?

Recently, the Wall Street Journal did report that Microsoft was working on a 7-inch Surface, so we could be wrong about them launching a whole new line of wearable devices.

The time might be wrong for super-small screens, and a watchband device could be easily marketed as part of the Windows Phone / Laptop / Tablet family. The possibilities for a drastic decrease in licensing fees for Office and Windows were reported in March, so this might be Microsoft giving some smaller hardware manufacturers a shot, whether it’s a watch or just a cheaper, smaller tablet line.
