Apple is applying price pressure on local Korean manufacturers

Ipod's competitors are resorting to news paper ads calling for a boycott of the Apple iPod in South Korea:

Under the image of a Korean flag, it goes on, "After spending countless nights in the research room, we've finally produced a precious son for the world market... There will be many difficulties, but we are not afraid." Reigncom declared itself determined to face Apple's offensive, saying, "We are the descendents of martyrs who braved bullets and swords to bring about independence to the cry of 'mansei.'" (chosun)

The ad campain was launched on March 1st, the Independence Movement Day.
