They didn't tell. But from their behaviour, my guess would be, it doesn't sell very well anyway.
I guess, Germany is kind of an Apple highground. Maybe there's a good reason, why Apple chose Germany for the legal actions?
The other way around. It is selling like crazy at Media Markt, which is the reason why they decided to brave the injunction and go on selling them (stock maybe, this was not said). The Media Markt sales VP explained (on TV yesterday evening) that the fine they will have to pay will be much lower than the turnaround they get out of the tab. He also said that Android Tablets in general were more in demand than the ipad.
How long will it be before Apple pulls out of Media Markt .... ?
