Lightbulb

Looks like a fly fisherman's flexible light for tying flies in the twilight. www.pdalight.com May be useful for reading depending on battery drain.

I already made one of these. : Instead of conecting to the springboard though, IT connects to the ICU digital battery cover. Works great, and loosk good. Perfect for lighting up my keybaord in the dark, or anything. In the Accesories section, check out something like Warrenty Breaking Free Kaiso for mroe info

Prior Art, Anyonee? (pdaLight is patent pending 2001) I see some..

Oh man, I had this very idea after I bought one of those worm lights for my GameBoy color. Their light looks kinda of crappy & its hard to tell on the website if they're actually selling something or praising & linking to other people's software and hardware. I would have liked to see a similar module but with a white light similar to the Worm Light & with 2mb of memory or so, to store books.

Oh well, wouldn't be surprised if they get sued by Worm Light. They're sueing a couple of companies right now...

Would there be any way to use one of those Gameboy lights? They look neat and seem to work well. I would imagine some sort of adapter would be easy to make.

I hadn't heard of the Worm Light before but it looks MUCH better than the pdaLight and it only costs $8.95 (instead of pdaLight's $32). Definitely makes pdaLight's price look excessive.

If you want to see more info on Worm Light, you can see reviews at http://www.gamecenter.com/Consoles/Gameboy/Nykoworm/ and http://pocket.ign.com/hardware/103.html

The only problem with using one of these lights is that they dram their power through the link connector on the Gameboy. After doing all of the modification necessary to one of these lights, I think that it woudl be much more useful to buy a light designed for the handsprign PDA speciafically.
