Author Blackberries: Can you make them?

Hello.
I have made a program using Microsoft Windows XP Excel and was wondering if
Microsoft could make a blackberry that supported this program. I don't want a
mini PC, just this one program.
Is there anyway you could do this? How much would it cost?

The blackberry isn't a microsoft device, if you used used a Windows
Mobile device, then you could lock it down somewhat, remove the shell
etc. Microsoft shipped excel for PocketPC.
Cost would mostly be time.

Did you make it in Excel or in VBA for Excel? If it's "only" Excel,
maybe the blackberry has a spreadsheet app that can run it. The
PocketPC version of Excel lacks a lot of functions.
