Holy Cow - 1.5 million T-Mobile G1s Pre-Ordered!!!

According to Darren Murph, “1.5 million T-Mobile G1s already pre-ordered“  Really?  The article explains that 1.5 million G1s with Google’s Android operating system have been pre-ordered and that T-Mobile has reserved 2 million for retail stores.  Really?  These numbers are MUCH higher than we were lead to believe.  Our ShopSavvy application for Android has been optimized for a launch of up-to 600,000 handsets (assuming they all use ShopSavvy).  We better add about ten servers if we want to be able to handle 1.5 million handsets.  I will check on these numbers and let you know what I find out.
