It really depends on the number of devices the user has and the channel
capability of those devices - I doubt that anyone is prepared to say what
the limit is (as soon as someone says something, someone somewhere will
prove them wrong!)
As Jeff stated, the theoretical limit is more than generous, but I don't
know what you'd want to guess as reasonable today, let alone next year, or
the year after...
