Taken for the headlines of CNN.com

Here is the quote:

People stumbled through darkened hallways using the screens of their iPod digital music players and Treo computer phones as flashlights.

The whole story!

Yep I used my iBook several times as a flashlight last night until I found the lost headlamp.
Just pulled a big window open - barely dented the battery.
I think I'm going to get in some of the USB lights and you know I had one and didn't even think of it yesterday would have been perfect for reading

Thankyou - that just might come in handy in the future. Damn that would have solved some problems last evening what a goof I am at times.

I'm plugging it into the iBook NOW

I used my iBook for a little bit, but the brightness nearly blinded me lol

Yes that is a cool avatar. Can someone make me one with that spinning beachball?

I used my GBA SP as a flashlight

It also offered some releif from gaming withdrawl, which I would have otherwise suffered.

Not that my post here is at all on topic, but I just noticed how cool Heart's avatar is.

I second Lars here... Heart - that's a hot one for sure!!

Yeah, I used the screen on my Nokia 6610 in my apt. I use is quite often as in the dead of darkness, and can be pretty bright - I just need to negociate the stairs as they wind between floors. No iPod yet...

But I wonder if Apple would maybe jump @ shooting an ad inspired by the quote - I would. Make it online only campaign.

H!

Thank you for your kind compliments Lars, jonmon and Ohenri.

At least someones paying attention.

I don't know how this will look as an avatar but try this.

I used my Blackberry back-lighting as a flashlight (night light, really) in the stairwell of my building. We also used our iPod once. Pretty handy feature.

Now, if they would only make one of those nifty, twisty lights with a FireWire connection...you could use your iPod as a flashlight without having to keep turning on the backlight. It would also be handy for reading while you travel...and listen to some nice tunes too.

Thanks for the graphic Heart!
