That's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. Germany is seldomly selected as a test market as it doesn't have hundreds of millions or even billions of potential buyers not because Germans are not interested. So we techno geeks have to pave the way for the regional industry a bit. But if then industry think that they can sell established technology without really innovative features for early adopter prices from 2 years ago, I think they're in for failure.
