Could be much more. I was just checking Taobao a few minutes ago, and found these listings:

http://world.taobao.com/item/525733298630.htm

http://world.taobao.com/item/525505795172.htm

I have no clue if all these entries in Taobao's site refer to different stocks of tablets or to the same stock, but if they are all separate, the grand total available right now from their site would be 3748 tablets. At a price of about 150 US dollars each, they're quite a deal as well...

EDIT: Interesting! The Taobao site actually provides details on how the devices are selling. So, 19 tablets have been sold from the first link, and 7 tablets from the second link. No other links show any tablets sold. The first tablet was sold on December 16th. Not sure if there are any customer comments available...

EDIT 2: From the description on one of the links, It does look like wherever these guys have been getting these tablets, their supply may have been cut off. Also, Jolla is apparently not supporting Sailfish on these devices, so they have switched to setting them up with Android. Here's the Google translation of the comment:

Originally the system should be swordfish system, but because the system stops swordfish registration (defunct) legacy is this group of machine production plant brush into the Android system to get the market to sell, only this group, while supplies last! I hope you understand.

EDIT 3: Some customer comments (albeit mangled badly by Google translate):

Caton, the charge does not work, but cheap, the seller attitude is very good, looks good, barely received ......

A great tablet operating system, screen color are good, is the battery capacity is small point, use a long time some heat. High cost, the store shipped very fast, is to express some drag.
