Dazzling Flashlight 4g for iPhone 4, cool iPhone flashlight apps

At the end of the past month i’ve posted about flashlight 4g for iPhone 4.Immediately after the iPhone 4 was released, Michael D’Ulisse of MoreBluSky came up with the idea to make an app that used the iPhone 4′s camera flash as a Flashlight.

Dazzling Flashlight 4g is one of several new applications (like this one) that uses the iPhone 4′s new built-in rear LED as a flashlight.Cramzy developer Iliya Yordanov was kind enough to send over a build of the app for me to test while the product waits on Apple review.

Dazzling Flashlight 4g offers two kinds of flashlight functionality. It provides the standard “light up the main screen with a bright, white window” that has been on App Store from the beginning — but it also offers direct control over the back LED flashlight as well. That LED provides strong, clear illumination and is really a nice way to shine light in dark rooms or at night.

Apple has decided to allow iPhone 4 flashlight apps after originally saying they were “inappropriate use of hardware”.

The developer then reached out to Apple’s Phil Schiller who promised to meet with the App Review department to review their policy. D’Ulisse’s arguments must have been convincing as after some consideration, Apple has approved MoreBluSky’s Flashlight – For iPhone 4 app as well as the many other iPhone 4 flashlight apps in their approval queue. Each app, however, must include a disclaimer that continued use of the iPhone’s LED may dramatically decrease battery life.
