PC makers may demand additional compensation from Sony
Sony was hit hard with the battery recall mess that has been going on over the past few months. Now its time for the laptop makers to fight back, on a brand note. PC manufacturers believe that their brand images were tarnished due to the mass recall of Sony PC batteries. Apple, Dell, Hitachi, IBM, Lenovo, and Toshiba have all recalled batteries in fear those consumers machines may overheat and catch fire. Even though Sony has said that they would in fact cover all recall costs, Toshiba is stepping out in front and asking for more to fix their brand image, and loss of potential sales.

Their brand names were hurt just by the revelation that they were using Sony stuff in their products. They should lower their prices now that everyone knows they use sub-par components. C'mon, ain't there any other battery maker in this world? Talk about a ripe market.
