Taiwan iPod sales fall
Sales of Apple's iPod video and iPod nano in the Taiwan market have fallen to below 20,000 units per month since May of this year, according to one report. Local retail channels attribute the drop in sales to fierce competition from new MP3 players from Samsung and SanDisk. Monthly sales of iPods in the Taiwan market totaled 25,000-35,000 units during a shortage, topping out at 45,000-50,000 units, according to DigiTimes. Samsung and SanDisk have since launched their new portable media players which offer more functionality than Apple's own iPod, even as unbranded and less popular MP3 player manufacturers lowered prices during the last quarter to combat Apple's dominance in the market, ultimately resulting in decreased sales of iPods in the region.

Users in Taiwan (or most of Asia) want many functions regardless of whether they need it. The more features you can include, the more valuable the product has to them.
Some of the sought-after features include:
• AM/FM • recording • removable battery • low price • flashing lights • dysfunctional interface
