So,you're advocating to put a *radioactive* paint (hydrogene 3 isotope), right next to a *high capacity lithium battery* (basically made of elemental explosivium :-D), and near a ton of non-space grade/non-military/non Rad-hardened modern extremely dense circuitry (you know the kind that is the reason why airports use a different X-Ray machine for hand luggage, just so it doesn't fry yoir electronics or photofilm) ?
on a much larger surface (thus quantity) than the typically mecanical thick whatches that use it ?
don't know if you aim to have crashiest phone ever that constantly has bad blocks on its flahs,
or if you are jalouse of Samsung owner and want to be thrown out of planes,
or simply trolling ?

so, to get back on topic:
What about physical camera shutter button ?
And shoulder buttons (like on game controllers, but user-mappable to ALT, CTRL, smiley keyboard popup, ...) ?

http://www.betavoltaic.co.uk
because they say it is easily shielded.
Or the guys that won a NASA award for making a glowing powder that you can add to any paint to make it a light source, the shielding, a micropolymer. Used to be glowpaint.com and then MPKco.com but it seems they went out of business but that doesn't mean the tech wasn't valid.
Now this from Cornell University is very interesting and open to licensing and was sponsored by DARPA. If this is true whoever runs with this could make the first betavoltaic cell inside of a tablet that trickle charges the battery.

And oh look...
http://www.citylabs.net
and they overcame the regulations.

Bunch of quite bizarre demands here........
Anyway, I have just one. Less glue and more screws.

I doubt trying to circumvent those bans to save a bit of battery power is worth the legal hassle.
As long as the keyboard backlighting can be disabled (which should be trivial), I'm not bothered.

Demands? ^ Curiosity and thinking outside the box gets instantly turned into demands?
You see? There is always that guy in the audience that wants to disguise his potshots as a valid argument.
Testing, testing:
Can we be curious, is that ok?
Can I bring up possible innovations in this category while I'm waiting for the the tablet I paid him for? Maybe it entertains him a little bit and gives him a break from the work he is doing to bring our devices to us, I don't know... but what's the harm?
I owned the N900. I wanted the N950. I'm curious about this device he is working on.
I wonder if you could use this stuff
https://www.lumilor.com
to make a more interesting notification light or possibly with filters and different back lights make a dual language keyboard so that depending what back light color you choose in settings it determines what characters show on the keyboard.
Before you comment it's a stupid idea or start throwing rotten tomatoes at me, check yourself. Did you have a good breakfast? Are you getting along with your spouse, your boss, your friends? I'm not your punching bag.
Don't ask me technical questions about how to do it, it's not my area of expertise. I'm just asking a question and being curious.

From where I'm sitting that's a reasonable comment, not meant personally, and you have overreacted at some perceived slight and got quite defensive...
Let's all just chill
