iPhone, You Make a Terrible Flashlight!

[BKKbill]

Really? I'd call up the manufacturer right away, sounds like it's defective!

Don't be silly. It would have to be called an iTorch.

I do this with my DS Lite on the Health & Safety screen, came in oh-so handy when we had a midnight power cut. Managed to sneak downstairs and get some candles and just played about on my PowerBook

Really can't wait to pick up the iPhone! So long as it has unlimited unmetered internet usage here

including tax and monthly bill, hell yes it's worth $800

You can't count monthly bill....you would be paying that anyway

there is a flashlight application for the iPhone, you can install it only if your iphone is freed.

Works great in strange hotel rooms at night! Woke my girlfriend up it was so bright in a pitch black room.

so many places one could go with this

Just use the flash for the camera...




-To all the people that looked at the back of their iPhones.

Using about:blank in Safari works well for lighting purposes...

Just turn up the brightness level - the backlight in the phone is quite bright, especially when cranked up all the way.

Steve is on the stage, the lights dim

Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along...

Today we announce the iTorch (crowd goes wild), the first torch ever to incorporate a phone, an iPod and an Internet Communicator all controlled with a gorgeous 3.5 inch multitouch display...

Something just not quite right about that

I use my iPhone as a flashlight in my house when I don't feel like turning on the lights.

I didn't think the iphone did flash.

I wish the iPhone had a camera flash ... I built a cool little app on the Motorla Q called Pocket Light that let you use the camera flash as a very bright flash light. You could also program morse code with it. Would love to port it to the iPhone.

I just want to say that reading this forum has made the iPhone so much more tantalizing for me. Just the all-the-time-ness of it all is so EXCITING, I just want to have my iPhone and LOVE it and use it as my FLASHLIGHT and everything else! I must have one...but damn Verizon!

The thing you are looking for is the Pwnage Tool!

 

[Oskee2001]

Pwnage won't help as Verizon is not a GSM carrier...

Just be aware of...

Hi,
I just want to say that using the flashlight application is bad for your battery .
In some conditions it's even very dangerous and your "blog subject" could explode in your face .
The developer from the program is warning for this danger.
So just be careful...
It's a Phone, it's an iPod, it's a camera, it's even a computer! But not a flashlight .
