"Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. said Tuesday it has begun recalling 6,000 lithium-ion batteries used in Panasonic-brand notebook computers in Japan on concerns they might overheat.
The recall of the batteries for Let's Note CF-W4G notebook PCs only affects Japan, said company spokesman Akira Kadota.
Kadota said the batteries were not made by Sony Corp (NYSE:SNE - news)., whose faulty batteries were involved in far larger recalls by Dell Inc. and Apple Computer Inc. last month, but he declined to say who made the batteries, citing an agreement with the manufacturer.

You know, during the timeframe of all these bad batteries, I was debating between a desktop and a laptop. Makes me glad I chose a desktop. Hopefully, all this battery nonsense will be gone by the time I buy my tablet PC from Gateway (unless, of course, Apple takes a tablet laptop by then). Of course this time will have to be way after I recover from the heavy costs of adopting both a PS3 and Wii at launch....
