Microsoft's surface will be 10.6", larger than the iPad. http://www.microsoft.com/global/surface/en/us/renderingassets/surfacespecsheet.pdf
Other inaccuracies from a cursory look at the article:
* The Kindle fire was $300 cheaper than the cheapest iPad at the time it was released, but this is no longer true. The iPad2 is now only $200 more than the Fire.
* Nobody outside of Amazon knows what it costs to produce a Fire, but recent articles suggest that it has fallen so Amaxon can now make a decent profit selling them. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/23/amazon-kindlefire-idUSL2E8INHHZ20120723
* How does the author know that the Barnes & Noble are not working on a replacement tablet. Lack of rumours is not evidence that they are not working on it.
