In addition to having to contend with competition in the market from the iPod nano, the strong sourcing presence of Apple in the NAND flash market is driving Taiwan-based MP3 player makers to propose a price increase for their respective 1 GByte version models upon limited flash memory supply in the market.

Acer and Micro-Star International (MSI) are two MP3 player makers who have proposed a price adjustment, with the price of their 1GB version models set to rise 8-10% to NT$3990-,290, up from NT$3799-3990, according to industry sources.
