If Gizmodo sources are right, the probability of which is pretty high, around 250,000 units of iPad have been ordered by the Germany audience. How is that for terming the device as the Next Big Thing.

It should come as no surprise that the demand is pretty higher than originally anticipated by Apple Germany. It is believed that around 75,000 iPads were originally reserved for Germany.
