Case in point:
I´ve got 3 N900´s here that I look after.

Mine accounts for roughly 500 downloads by itself (4 reflashes * 80 apps that need to be downloaded + running updates). My wife´s accounts for probably around 100-150 downloads. My fathers accounts for probably around 100-150 downloads.

So lets say it´s 750 total for 3 devices, or 250 per device. There have been 10 million downloads from Maemo.org repositories. These count all updates as well as fresh downloads.

Using these numbers, dividing downloads per device into the number of downloads, we end up with 40.000 devices for 250dl´s/device. If we use the number 150 downloads per device we end up at 66667 devices. If we use 100 downloads per device we end up at 100.000 devices.

So taking a swag, I´d say the number is probably not in any chance over 200.000. Most likely below 150.000.
With 100 dl/unit and assuming that the unit has been flashed 4 times(meaning re-download of the installed Extras app); so it means that the unit is installed with 20 Extra app. Question to the group is that how many Extras app do you have?
