Uh, "Flashlight" was not the first flashlight app -- though catchy name, huh? Actually, there were at least two other such free apps at the opening of the App Store: (1) "Light," another oh-so-clever name, also a plain-old, simple app like Flashlight, which was later kicked off the App Store for violating the developer rules, and (2) "myLite," which was in the top-ten long before Flashlight was, actually for almost two weeks, before Flashlight simply copied a couple of its features. But myLite is the one I *much* prefer, because it has many more features than Flashlight -- nine total "effects." And there are some really cool reviews of how people have used myLite, including in emergency situations .
