Not surprising to see Sony taking a stock hit on its 10 days of woe (Dell battery problems, Apple battery problems -- is there more coming?).
(Actually wondered why Dell got raked through the fire -- no pun intended -- when the problem was with Sony-supplied batteries.)
Marketwatch reports today on the financial hit, but what about Sony's brand image, which has been consistently ranked very high and which they have spent millions to nurture? How much of a hit will that take?
Let's hear from the people! Will you think twice about buying a Sony product?

By the way Tom, is the battery problem peculiar to only Dell? After all, lithium-ion batteries are used by almost all laptops that I have known. Besides, these batteries operate other gadgets as well.
First there was the rootkit. And now the crappy batteries. It'll be a cold day when we buy another Sony product.
