Well, sooner or later, this had to also happen to IBM: they are recalling Thinkpad (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15047076/) lithium-ion batteries that were manufactured by Sony. Toshiba ordered a similar recall the other week.

Well, I wasn't affected by the recall *knocks on wood*

But Sony was a major supplier of batteries to laptop manufacturers, so I guess that's one bad reason why to have all of your eggs in one basket.

And with the bad press Sony has been getting lately, I don't think they can recover from it.
