Asus sees end to Eee shortages 10:36AM, Monday 21st April 2008
Asus claims the majority of its battery supply problems will be resolved by June, but admits April and May sales will be hit.

Asus has previously admitted that a global shortage of batteries, caused by a fire at the LG Chem production plant in March, would affect up to 40% of its second-quarter shipments.

However, other reports have suggested that around seven out of ten orders were going unfulfilled.

Despite the problems, Asus is maintaining its target of shipping five million Eee PCs in 2008, with the company predicting around 60% of those will feature the recently launched 9in screen.

The battery supply problem has hit most of the major manufacturers, with Dell admitting in March that the shortage was forcing it to raise prices, though it would not confirm by how much.
