Ideas for having a flash..

Has anybody tried to use one of those mini usb flashlights on our phones..? The only one i could find was for laptops but if they made a smaller more compact one I think we could get some great use out of it for our camera and just a flashlight... Just thought this would be a cool idea...

Doubt it would work. I am fairly certain the USB port on our cell phones are not powered. Meaning they are wired to receive power from a USB port on a computer, but not to transmit power on their own.

I kinda understand what ur saying.. But at the same time, I bought an FM transmitter that gets power from my TP2 so wouldn't that be the same thing almost..??
