[sherwinzadeh]

Hey guys,

We've been working on a little hack to turn the camera flash on the iPhone 4 into a quick and convenient Flashlight. Here's a YouTube video:

Power Light is now out and we're making it FREE!
Download now for FREE

Here is the app icon:

And screen shots:

If you enjoy Power Light, I'd really appreciate a review and a rating in iTunes/App Store and if you have any feedback, feel free to let me know in this forum.




Thanks,

Sherwin

wow very cool. I want to see how it does in the dark though

 

[AbjectEvolution]

Awesome!

Are you making an app for this? Why do you need my Device ID?

 

[Press22]

This is great!
Hope it gets in the app store (can't see a reason why it wouldn't.)

Very slick - will you be putting it on the App Store?

Saw this coming from the moment they announced the led flash. With all of the flashlight apps in the app store, it was a given.

Does this use private APIs or will apps like this eventually make their way into the app store?

 

[xtend]

I thought thats a standard feature or api that is available.. If so, then what comes next?

iPhone 4 hacked to have a retina display?

Maybe i'm wrong...

I feel sorry for the dumbass who posts their UDID. Scam, much?

 

[realeric]

cool cool cool cool. I need it.

Exactly people please wait for an app store app and do not post your phones ID

Can I just give you my SSN instead?

lol'd

Why is it bad to give out your UDID? Is there anything they can do with it? Just wondering because I have no idea.

Unlikely. It's not like anyone can do much with your UDID except give you ad hoc apps.

 

[Press22]

Well I'm not giving my UDID but that's how the enterprise app sharing works
you give the dev a UDID and he can send you the app.
There's even people who sell apps through paypal and do it this way so that Apple doesn't get a cut of their sales

My friend has a flashlight app utilizing the devices camera flash for his Android. It's pretty cool and comes in handy.

We're going to try to submit it. Hope Apple approves.

Here's a screen shot:
