On Monday, Mr Jobs mentioned that a raft of 7in tablet-computers would be "dead on arrival" when they strike the marketplace to take on Apple's iPad.
But RIM's Jim Balsillie mentioned his explanation do not make clarity "outside of Apple's exaggeration field".
RIM has mentioned that it will launch a 7in-tablet well known as the Playbook in 2011.
"For the of us who live outward of Apple's exaggeration field, you know that 7" tablets will obviously be a large part of the market," Mr Balsillie mentioned in a firm blog post .
"And you know that Adobe Flash encouragement obviously counts to customers who wish a actual web experience".
Apple's iPad does not encouragement Flash, program ordinarily used to increase animation, video or interactive elements to a web page.
"We regard many customers are getting sleepy of being told what to regard by Apple," he wrote.
Mr Jobs launched his storm against other inscription during a discussion call on Monday to publicize the firm's financial results .
He listed a number of reasons because he believed the 10-inch iPad would browbeat over 7in rivals, inclusive pricing, the accessibility of apps and the fortitude of the screens.
"These are amid the reasons you regard the stream stand of 7in tablets are going to be DOA, Dead on Arrival," he said.
"Their manufacturers will pick up the unpleasant doctrine that their tablets are as well tiny and increase the size next year, thereby abandoning both customers and developers who jumped on the seven-inch bandwagon with an waif product. Sounds similar to lots of fun ahead".
Mr Balsillie moreover sought to opposite Mr Job's avowal that the iPhone had outsold the Blackberry in its ultimate quarter.
RIM's final mercantile entertain finished on 28 August, whilst Apple's finished on 25 September.
"Industry urge in September is typically stronger than summer months," Mr Balsillie wrote, adding that the iPhone had not achieved so well in the formerly quarter.
RIM shipped 12.1 million Blackberrys in its final quarter. Apple mentioned that it had sole 14.1 million iPhones.
"As usual, either the theme is antennas, Flash or shipments, there is more to the story and earlier or later, even people inside the exaggeration margin will start to be insulted being told half a story," Mr Balsillie said.
During the call, Mr Job's moreover took target at Google's Android working system, mission it "fragmented" and mentioned Google was incorrect to characterize the program as "open".
"Google loves to characterize Android as open, and iOS and iPhone as closed," he said. "We find this a bit treasonable and clouding the actual disparity between our two approaches."
Others, such as esteemed program devloper Joe Hewitt, have questioned Google's clarification of openess .
Google has not rigourously responded to Mr Jobs's comments. However, Android-creator Andy Rubint tweeted a apparently mysterious summary in reply that resembled a fibre of symbols.
The summary is the ethics that allows any person to download and use Android.
Others have moreover criticised Mr Jobs tirade.
Iain Dodsworth, the developer of the Twitter customer Tweetdeck, refuted Mr Jobs' avowal that "the multi-part hardware and program iterations [of Android phones] present developers with a daunting challenge."
Mr Jobs mentioned the firm had not long ago mentioned "they had to say with more than 100 not similar versions of Android program on 244 not similar handsets".
"Did you at any indicate say it was a calamity building on Android?," tweeted Mr Dodsworth in response. "Errr nope, no you didn't. It wasn't."
