ANADA'S Research In Motion has fired back at Apple's Steve Jobs over his claims that the iPhone is outselling the Blackberry and that 7-inch tablet computers have no future.
"We think many customers are getting tired of being told what to think by Apple," RIM co-chief executive Jim Balsillie said in a blog post responding to the comments made on Monday by Jobs.
Jobs, speaking to financial analysts during a conference call, dismissed 7-inch tablets as "tweeners" saying they were "too big to compete with a smartphone and too small to compete with an iPad".
He suggested makers of 7-inch screens "include sandpaper so users can sand down their fingers" to be able to tap onscreen keys.

Is that 7 inches in length or 7” in circumference? The latter may be more important.

I could tell you what my wife says, but that would probably be inappropriate.
But then again I'm a big red blooded American boy.

If it’s less than nine, it just doesn’t film well.

A lamentable headline. Heck, I thought this was a "Gun Talk" thread about barrel length of heavy, large caliber revolvers.

A lamentable headline...
I do not think that word means what you think it means ...

I own the BlackBerry Tour, and 2.6 inches has always been enough for me.
Wait, we are still talking about screens, right? ;-)
