We've all heard about overheating laptop batteries, but in Japan NTT DoCoMo and Mitsubishi Electric are recalling 1.3 million potentially hot potato cellular phone batteries. The companies said the batteries were all made before June 2006 and could overheat or catch on fire. NTT says it knows of at least 18 cases where the batteries have either ruptured or overheated.

I'm guessing Sony regrets not testing their batteries for 2 weeks more

The whole battery scandale, has sliced 95% of their expected surplus for 2006
