So I found this on ebay

It looks like it runs off a separate battery. Maybe if I took night pictures a whole lot $50 would make sense.
So it also charges your phone or just gives you a flash

Just the flash. If you don't use the light much, it's a great way to carry an extra battery.
Doesn't look like it charges the phone. It looks like it gives you flash and can charge the battery in it.
So a flash is like the major thing that was missing but its kinda pricey

That's probally why only 1 sold.
not to mention it almost doubles the thickness of your phone
If it charged your phone too I would've bought it but 50 for an led is bad

i agree $50 seems a little pricey. GREAT IDEA though
sorry but thats horrible.
i know theyre trying but damn
I love how a couple moths ago, this is all anyone wanted. Now that a solution is here, the general consensus is....
Meh.
It's cool but 20 bucks would've been a lot cooler

DO IT!!!!!!!
So... it uses a full sized battery but does not connect to the phone's battery. It is not an actual flash and instead is just a spot light.
Also the ebay ad says that there is a LED for the charging status but they didn't seem to show that, but again that is only the spare battery.
I would rather just carry a keychain led flash light for 6 dollars. I suppose the spare battery holder makes some sense, but I have a lot of electrical tape if I need to make sure there is a spare battery attached to my phone.
Lol. That thing is HUGE Tiny Elvis
If someone could come up with one that's 1/5 that thickness it might be worthwhile.
I brick my phone enough without literally turning it into one.

Me too! I just have one question though. Is there a way to attach something like an LED to the usb port on the phone and have an app control it, like perhaps make it flash when taking a picture?

I haven't seen much mention of it, but the iControlPad
http://www.icontrolpad.com/
is available now. IT does everything that the one linked does, with the addition of two analog pads and a 1360mAh battery that you can charge your phone from.
Otherwise, it looks extremely similar to the linked pad.

Well I have been working on getting a new job, which is why I have been away recently. And with the new job come a new iPhone 4S and iPad 2. This will be the first time I have ever played with apple products for an extended period. So I am looking forward to trying something new. But from the little I have played with them both I really wish it were a pair of android devices.
I will be the first to say congrats on a new job in this tough economy. I am sure it will be fun and from the sounds of it rewarding too.
On my Epic mobile phone.
This is a good ipad 2 video.

We need a way to install android on apples devices.
What's your new job?

their hardware is great. The only thing that gets me is the locked down OS. Do you plan on jailbreaking either one?

And then a little late you will wish that Android has that one app you have on your I pad/phone. It won't be enough to make you like ios better, but it certainly will annoy you. And by you I mean me lol

The iPhone 4 took a year and a half for untethered jailbreak for the most recent ios. To me, that is unacceptable. I hope you're making lots of money because the app store will certainly be taking lots of it. One suggestion i will make to anyone with that phone is, go to best buy and get the mophie juicepack plus. It's $100, but it's a good case with a 2000ma battery built in to complement the phone battery. Keep the switch on all the time to top off charge the phone battery all day. If you notice the battery percentage dropping but it still has the plug icon on the battery, turn the switch off then on and that will fix it. You might think that a hundred is crazy to pay for a case/battery. Let me put it to you this way, you can hammer on the phone all day and night with heavy everything usage and the phone will not go dead. Games, internet, streaming, videos, movies, whatever, you will be hard pressed to have the phone die on you. It makes the phone bigger and heavier but with 19 hours on and using the phone a lot and still have 40-60% battery left, that's pretty awesome in my book. That setup puts our extended life replacement batteries to shame!

You'll get longer battery run time if you let the mophie top off charge the already charged phone battery all day. If you do it like it is explained in the video, your run times between charges will be less.

Most definitely. It looks like the jailbreak will be released in about a week. That is about the time I get my devices so it should be good timing.

Fortunately it looks like a jailbreak will be released before I get the devices. Also since this is for work there are only a couple of apps that I will need. I will still have my beloved E4GT for all the fun stuff. And thanks for the advice. I will check that out.

My friend has that snap on battery case on his iPhone. He said he can't get through the day on the iPhone battery alone (funny my ET4g can) he loves the fact that it has a micro USB port to charge so he can use my charger or anyone else's, when he needs it. The case does look like a good case for the phone, I'd get one if they made one for mineo

Well I was thinking of a two face coin being flipped into the air from low to high (getting bigger) as it spins one side is a dragon, one side is a flame, a few spins down to up, up to down, nothing to fancy or in depth then when it lands. it lands on its straight edge side, then slowly falls with the dragon blowing flames and Hemorrhodge in text lol. This was just an idea. If you want to tweak or disregard I have no crushed hopes or dreams.
If you were fancy with sound or anything you could add the whooshs of spinning and the tink and slam as it settled but simple is simple and I'm not picky. Just to see this in action would amaze me

I came from the Galaxy S3. Traded for the Optimus yesterday. So far I love it! I do tons of gaming and it feels so much smoother than my S3 did. The keyboard is the ONLY issue I have found so far, it has a very hard time keeping up with me. Lol. What's your thoughts on the most powerful phone in 'Murica?

check out SwiftKey 3 if you're looking for a legitimately good keyboard, its prediction and auto correction features are ridiculously good.
as for the phone, I've got to say it's the best phone I've ever had, and I've had couple of android phones before this (came from the Epic 4G Touch) and also have had iPhone, and none of those are even close to the experience I've gotten on LGOG.

The ONLY issue I notice is it runs a little warm BUT I do have a high amount of screen on time. Other than that, I use mine without a case and all and haven't dropped it yet. No weird creaks and seems very well built. I'm in love with the design.

If you want a phone that runs hot, try the Evo3D. I swear, if my heat ever went out in my house, all I had to do was drill the processor in that for a few minutes. Accidently left mine under my pillow one time when it was charging. Got so hot, it burned my face when I tried to make a phone call. I stream Netflix alot, and it got uncomfortable to hold it. This phone runs like a liquid-cooled dream compared to that.
