The video is a promo for Porsche, which lets its customers add a bunch of extra doodads to their overpriced sports cars.

Kawasaki's commentary on the video? 

"Wouldn't it be great if you could personalize your phone like this?"

Motorola is reportedly working directly with Google to make the so-called X-Phone, a premium smartphone that should launch later this year. Some Android fan blogs are reporting the X-Phone will have customizable hardware, just as Kawasaki teased yesterday.

There's a chance we could learn more about Google's plans for Motorola at Google's I/O developers conference in May.

Here's the Porsche video Kawasaki posted:

On February 28, Axel Springer, Business Insider's parent company, joined 31 other media groups and filed a $2.3 billion suit against Google in Dutch court, alleging losses suffered due to the company's advertising practices.
