[Maemo 5] LED Flashlight / Torch Application?
 
is there an app to turn on and use the camera led as a flashlight? can this be done or does the camera software override the led control?

I'm working on it. My N900 arrived yesterday, so I can finally test what I wrote on the real device :D

I think, I will upload very first version to extras-devel soon.

I hope it's a widget, a switch similar to the FM transmitter switch would be ideal!

Wont this kill the LEDs since they are optimized for high intensity flashes rather than long term illumination?

LEDs driver can work in "torch" or "flash" modes, so I think it should be safe.

Awesome, but would still be good to get some official confirmation from Nokia on potential implications of this.

But I'd say the fact that it's exposed via the included driver is a good sign that it should be safe.
