He's referring to the consumer tech market place. When's the last time a German company launched a piece of consumer hardware that had worldwide market share?

Gigaset (Siemens' phone company) and T-Mobile come to mind as large German global consumer technology brands.

T-Mobile is great example, thanks.

I'm using EyeTV with my Mac to view TV.

German company. Great products.

EyeTV does not have large market share, in the sense that it does not compete on the scales of the ipad (which is what we're discussing).

I'm not bad mouthing German companies or products. I drive a VW.

they sell in a lot of countries, incl. the US.

Not every one is as large as Siemens, Bosch, Blaupunkt, ...

There are Braun, Loewe, Navigon, Sennheiser, ...
