LED's are nothing new.. they didnt create anything spectacularly new.. just an app that controls an LED light.

so you're saying that if you loose your phone, it will never get replaced with another one? in the mean time you still have a baller ass energy efficient LED lightbulb.

LED bulbs at home depot are like 20-30$, add color control & smartphone compatibility for an extra 10-20. i don't see this as that bad of a deal at all, i hope it takes off quick so i can just go to the store and get some.

never really said that all...

just saying if u got lights flashing on and off and changing colour and u managed to lose ur phone down the side of a couch or u misplaced for whatever reason, it would pretty much piss u off.

comprehende senorita?
