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!!
