During the company's most recent earnings conference call held in October, Apple CEO Steve Jobs made a rare appearance to discuss Research in Motion, Google, Android, and competition in the tablet market, as well as to answer questions from research analysts. Jobs noted that Apple has passed Research in Motion in smartphone sales and doesn't see the BlackBerry maker catching back up, and also panned the smaller 7-inch tablets that are dominating the announcements of Apple's competitors.
