We’ve seen some rumors flying around that Google’s upcoming “X Phone” will have customizable hardware options that will essentially let users pick some of the key features they want in a mobile device.

Just above the video Kawasaki writes that it would be “great if you could personalize your phone like this,” a hint that Google and Motorola are working on a similar “build-your-own-device” program.
