There is both marketshare and money to be made there so a stampede is coming. And I think that, since the primary function of tablets is content consumption, the 8in form factor may be (close to?) hitting an optimum balance of low weight and screen size at a low cost. Which would make them a better long-form reading platform than the 10in models.

I've had a Prestigio 8 inch tablet for almost an year. Tablets of such a size have been on the market before Apple's release of the Mini.
