iPod Shuffle Sales Slow in Taiwan

Wow they have iPhone shuffles in taiwan already! I want one! What does it look like? Since its a shuffle it probably has no screen and makes and recieves calls at random! And i heare the internet is read to you! Wow they're really cheap. Sign me up.


I love fun typos like that.

Sounds like it may be time for a price drop...

Meh, so what ?

Everyone knows that in China, Taiwan... pretty much the whole Asia-Pacific region, you can get other brands far cheaper than Apple, far cheaper than anywhere else in the world.

There is a certain quality and brand recognition in buying Apple products, and the shuffle is no different, despite it's size and relatively low feature set.

I'd imagine a new iTunes Store for China, taking Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan (admittedly they'd be very angry over this) as parts of China would increase sales, as they'd be then locked in.

No wonder nobody wants it.

I agree with your point- the market there is flooded with many other products making it harder for Apple to compete (atleast with their pricing). :)

Cheap as dirt. They call it the iSod.

You can't forget the fact of brand and content loyalty they have there. In Korea some of the top mp3 players are from Korean companies in China top players are from China and Korea, and so forth.

Most Taiwanese like cheap products they don't see style as very important
its they way they see things besides they really look up to Japan they want to be like them, although Taiwanese girls dislike Japanese girls a lot!

wow im sure aapl took a dive over this news.... :rolleyes:

really taiwan, let be honest those that have computers don't have room for itunes, they're all to full of pirated software, films and knocked off virus full versions of vista..
