Startup idea list

Re:Startup idea list by altay on Tuesday September 18, 2007 @01:09PM (#56371)

this isn't a startup, but i want it: a flashlight on my cell phone. i'm always using my phone's screen as a flashlight in the dark, but it's not very bright and drains the battery.

they've got those tiny, efficient, mega-powerful LED flashlight keychains -- can't be THAT hard to integrate one into a phone.

Its called Nokia 1100. Its an incredibly popular phone in India.

Its cheap, sturdy, comes with a flashlight that you can operate by clicking one button. Very useful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_1100#Features

wow, according to that page, the nokia 1100 is the world best-selling handset. 200 million sold. (cf. 50M razrs, 110M ipods, 115M ps2s)

i'm guessing it's cause of the flashlight. ;)
