CEO Thorsten Heins has mentioned on RIM's fiscal fourth quarter earnings call today that there are "over one million" PlayBook customers in the market. Considering his verbiage — "customers" — that suggests that over a million PlayBooks have been sold; for what it's worth, "over" 500,000 were shipped in the last quarter alone according to today's earnings release.
