Hardware device from Friend.com. Will make best effort to determine number of devices sold from official announcements and investigative journalism.

2024-08-02 Clarification: fully paid but not yet shipped devices will count as "sold", provided I can find a source with that specificity

Do the devices need to have shipped? Do pre-sales count?

Great question! I'm mainly interested in customer interest over speed of manufacturing execution, so I'll say fully paid but not shipped devices will be counted in the total (provided I can find that number)

I bought a dev kit more than a month ago, and haven't received it or been able to get any update about it.
