There is a similar discussion started by a developer looking for ideas to build apps - but repeating my requests are:
1. a widget to toggle on/off the blinking green LED in the upper left hand corner of the Droid.
2. a widget/app for the 4 hard buttons (back, menu, home, and search) allowing you to toggle between: (a) turn backlighting off, (b) force backlighting on, and (c) allow backlighting to adjust automatically (as it does now).
These apps should work both in and out of the desk cradle.
