European Eee PC 1008P-KR Ships With 2 Batteries For 12 Hours

Just seen a few European based netbook sites get confirmation on the ASUS Eee PC 1008P-KR shipping with 2x batteries in Italy and France.

Like the previous generation ASUS Eee PC 1008HA, the 1008P has the same thin and light form factor even having a (2900 mAh) lithium polymer battery but with the 1008P it is removable and being on the Pinetrail platform the battery is rated at 6 hours. Now add in a second battery for free and that gives a total of 12 hours (probably more like 7 - 9 in real life)

Haven’t heard anything about 2x batteries elsewhere yet. Checking out the packaging for the 1008P-KR at Newegg.com reveals only a single battery.
