Trying to get back on track (and I've reported you Cold Pizza so I'd leave it there if I was you) the Korean and Japanese markets are quite distinct, whereas British manufacturers would be entering the European/US market which is already dominated by Apple.

 

I understand a company as large as Microsoft deciding to have a pop but there is little in it for other coporations with an existing customer base to try and enter the DAP market risking all the R&D, production and marketing costs on a high chance of failure.

 

There is also the fact that it would not fit most of their company profiles, which are mostly for luxury goods. Cambridge Audio does entry level stuff but, again, I don't see why they would bother.
