[ One could understand why the market has been manipulated such that MP3 players - all competitors to Samsung - would not be able to get their supply of NAND memory. If Samsung can't do price fixing anymore the next best thing is to manipulate the market by locking-up the supply of available NAND such as Samsung has done so their MP3 competitors go out of business.]

Samsung should have refused to sell to Apple? Without the introduction of the Nano, the NAND market would be in oversupply right now and all of those other MP3 manufacturers would still be concentrating on 1GB players.

It was a great business decision on the part of both Samsung and Apple....
