ASUS apologized in public today in connection with recent reports that the company had mislead customers and early reviewers. Several consumers in Hong Kong who purchased Eee PC 900 on the first day of its launch have complained that the battery that came with their systems is a 4-cell, 4400mAh model, not the 4-cell, 5800mAh and 4-cell, 5200mAh batteries that were reported by early reviews. ASUS explained that the bigger batteries were provided to the media for testing by mistake, while the 4400mAh model is the standard that should ship with Eee PC 900. ASUS plans to introduce a 5800mAh upgrade part in the near future. All unsatisifed users will be offered an free update from ASUS. The company is currently ecaluating a replacement program, details of which it will introduce soon.
