mean()
X = randn(100,100);
mean(mean(X))
or
mean(X(:))

If you want the means of the columns or the rows, you can use mean() with the dimension argument
X = mean(X,1);
or
X = mean(X,2);

mean(X(:))
or for speed:
N = numel(X);
sum(reshape(X,N,1))/N;
or for fun:
eval([repmat('mean(',1,ndims(X)) 'X' repmat(')',1,ndims(X)) ';']);

A strange definition of "fun".
I think, that "sum(X(:))/numel(X)" is more fun, it is even _nice_.
