Thanks to Eric from Reno in Nevada for flagging a paper by Aaron Pane on "IBM Lotus Domino with BlackBerry Enterprise Server: Performance best practices":

And though its not strictly BlackBerry related here is a statistic I find staggering. By the end of this year its expected that mobile phone penetration of the world's population will reach 61%. That will be something like 4 billion phones. Now compare that to an online population of about 1 billion and the fact that by 2014 its estimated that there will "only" be 2 billion PCs in use. You can see why RIM, Apple etc get very, very excited about the potential market for web-enabled smartphones.
