Apple enthusiasts (who, let’s face it, can be a smug lot) suddenly have a lot in common with Dell users — it’s battery recall time!
Apple is recalling 1.8 million Sony batteries, similar to the ones that Dell is recalling to the tune of 4.1 million units.
There’s a Web site to check out if your battery needs replacing, but as of 1:35 p.m. on Wednesday, the site is not accessible. Apple must be getting slammed with page requests. We can only hope that the support server doesn’t run on one of those hot batteries.
