So far, Windows 8 has made little headway in challenging the market dominance of Google's Android and Apple iOS devices. Windows 8 shares less than 4% of the mobile device market in the first quarter of this year, according to IDC, an international data company. In this regard, some analysts believe that the high price is the main factor. Shen Zhenlai, ASUS chief executive, said the situation could change this year and that the price of Windows 8 Tablet PCs could fall below $300 trillion. Given Microsoft's plans to design small devices, Shen Zhenlai said, they are very optimistic about the prospects for this year's sales of Windows 8 tablet computers. Last month, inside Microsoft, the company was working with partners to study small, low-cost mobile devices, but did not disclose specific prices. There are reports that Microsoft plans to launch a seven-inch Surface tablet computer later this year, and that there are no Windows 8 Tablet PCs that are less than 10 inches in size.
