For a 8" full Windows 8 tablet to be released, something fundamental will need to have happened with regard to Win8 licensing, breakthrough in hardware design/manufacturing, marketing (think: loss-leader), SOMETHING.
My suspicion is that Microsoft will be doing something to blur the lines between Win 8 RT and full-on Win 8.
Time will indeed tell.

I'll have to dig up a source, but I believe MS has lowered licensing costs and made it possible to put Win8 on devices with lower resolutions. There wouldn't have to be any hardware breakthroughs. This looks to be an Atom-based device.
