I work in IT, so I am around a lot of tech-savvy people, but I know exactly two who own an iPad. Smartphones are very widespread in comparison (usually HTC) and - funny fact on the side - the iPhone-owners have Linux-computers at home, not Macs.
It's very possible that Germany is not a good iPad-market.

Actually, I just tried to find any sales numbers for the iPad in Germany, without success. The only number I found was this:

According to that, Apple sold 160.000 iPads during the first month of its release in all of Europe (!). That's not that much considering that Europe is a market with about 500 million people. Apple probably has a lot more market standing in the US. |
What's the 100,000 figure relating to Touchpads about, translation of that bit would be appreciated...
