Now that the upcoming Asus Eee PC 900’s release date is drawing near, Asus is facing a bit of a predicament. For you see, Asus is experiencing a battery shortage right now, and if this problem persists till next month, there could be a lot of lost revenue for Asus here. But Asus Chief Executive Jerry Shen was confident enough to say that “ninety percent of the battery problems should be resolved by June but it could still affect April and May Eee PC sales.” And rightly so, because as you can imagine, less battery units produced means less Eee PC’s to manufacture. And as a company who’s right at the top of their game, Asus can’t afford such a blunder. The 7-inch Eee PC wouldn’t have made it to the 1-millionth mark if there were big problems on battery production, don’t you agree? But of course, as no one of us here is a clairvoyant or has any ability to see the future, there’s no telling just how this situation might turn out.
