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.

And everyone associated with the priesthood is relieved about the nuns, I’m sure. ;-P

Either that, or he’s been living in a nunnery all his life.

Hey, that doesn't sound too bad... ;^)

As the Italian guy used to say, “Yo...it ain’t big, but it’s thick”

LOL!

I suppose, you handsome devil, you.

LOL! Castle Anthrax was definitely the wrong nunnery for Galahad.

Slings would like it though.

Yes, class, seven inches should be quite sufficient, as you will see . . . .
