RIM Chief Executive Thorsten Heins on Monday told a crowd of developers that BlackBerry was still very much a player in the mobile world. He made the somewhat startling pronouncement that the company’s subscriber base had risen to 80 million from 78 million over the most recent quarter, despite the lack of new products or major initiatives. Perhaps more startling, Heins predicted that the company’s mobile platform could well become No. 3 in the market once BlackBerry 10 arrives sometime next year.
