BlackBerry 10

I understand that Blackberry development is not offered yet, but has anyone yet tried to do it after learning Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, C-Objective, and anything else that comes to your mind? I'm just curious as anyone around here. I am getting BlackBerry Z10 to learn more about it, and even though I want to develop first on Android, I'd just like to know how you feel about BlackBerry 10 OS. I'm also interested in how many people are actually interested in BlackBerry today. I hope my discussion makes sense.

Thank you.

BlackBerry 10 supports many different runtimes like Adobe Air, Android, Native development in C/C++. Blackberry still has a following, but not as much as it used to have. Right now it has around a 3% market share in the US.

Yes, market share is very low, but it isn't all about market share. Challenge and practice is what it's all about.
