I'm sure someone has mentioned this application before but just in
case, have you ever heard of using the accelerometer to check the
batter status? The application that I heard about was: when the
application is running, you shake the FR just like you shake an opaque
water bottle to determine if its full or not, the application will
cause the phone to "gurgle" with the appropriate pitch in sound that
you would get if the FR's battery was full, half emtpy or empty.

This would be way kewl!!

Cheers!!
