I am currently devising how I can incorporate cathodes into my incarnation of my Moko case. :D I am thinking light saber here folks. How frickin cool would that be. LOL The ring tones would be straight from movie sound bytes. Like "Use the force Luke" or the sound of Darth Vader breathing and my personal favorite. The sound of a lightsaber snapping on and then a massive battle pursues. Oh make me stop my sides are hurting and there are tears rolling down my cheeks. hahahahahaha!
Too bad it's for the 1973 set and not the Freerunner. The 1973 isn't exactly usable. You can't even make phone calls with it, though it occasionally sorta works if you use QTopia instead of the OpenMoko software. IMHO they should have released the files for the Freerunner as well. Thay way people could have case mods designed ready when the Freerunner comes out. It's not like the internal and external dimensions of the Freerunner is going to change anymore in the next 6-8 weeks.

EDIT: Still a great move though. Don't think I'm negative about this.
