<p>The first-ever small-screen Windows tablet made a brief appearance on Amazon.com today, before quickly being yanked from the online retailer's e-shelves.</p><p>While Acer was busy showing off a smattering of large-screen Windows devices in New York Friday, the 8.1-inch Acer Iconia W3-810-1600 was briefly available for perusal in the digital realm. Why does that matter? Because all Windows 8 tablets released thus far have packed 10-inch or larger displays, as Microsoft's operating system was engineered before diminutive tablets like the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire became all the rage.</p><p>Oops! (Click to enlarge.)</p><p>Microsoft has tweaked a bevy of features and specs since the release of Windows 8 to create a friendlier environment for smaller slates. The OS's hardware certification program recently dropped the minimum allowable screen resolution for Windows 8 tablets from 1366-by-768 down to 1024-by-768, while leaked builds of the impending Windows Blue update sported a Snap feature that works just fine on tiny tablets. (Previously, Snap only worked on displays with that 1366-by-768 resolution.)</p><p><a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/2037466/amazon-accidentally-leaks-worlds-first-small-screen-windows-8-tablet.html">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2013/05/acer-aspire-r7-windows-8-laptop-tablet-in-one-crazy-package/">Acer Aspire R7: Windows 8 Laptop-Tablet In One Crazy Package</a> (ABC News)</p><p><a href="http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/3/4297490/acer-w3-810-8-inch-windows-8-tablet-specs-price">Acer's 8-inch Windows 8 tablet shows up on Amazon with a $ 379.99 price tag</a> (The Verge)</p><p><a href="http://www.technobuffalo.com/2013/05/03/acer-w3-810-windows-8-price/">Acer W3-810 Shows Up On Amazon for $ 379.99, Runs Windows 8</a> (TechnoBuffalo)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dSoMwZ_Cv5D1u9MxW8trU2zfrPbQM&ned=us">198 additional articles.</a></p>
