Wooow! That's huge! Especially considering that China has a population of only "2011 estimate - 1,347,350,000"

Right! And you're probably one of those people that think having an iphone makes you soooooo cool that it guarantees you won't end up working in a McDonald's.

As far as I remember, Xiaomi Mi-1s recieved almost 400000 pre orders in one day or less time.

I'm curious how many will lost their organs in the process.

100,00 is small considering the population of china and most of those who ordered are probably going to sell them in the grey market.
