I'm curious to know how many active BlackBerry users are out there. I've heard estimates from 4 to 14 million BB users. Anybody have any definitive stats?

Nope, but it does kind of guide how much focus we want to put into developing software for the BlackBerry market (versus winmobile and/or other j2me phones). One analyst had told us the number was < 10M, but I'd read that it was more.

Of course, market size doesn't matter nearly as much as just making solid, useful products

I really appreciate everybody's feedback. You guys rock.
