iPhone Needs An LED Light - Here It Is

We periodically follow KickStarter projects which are interesting. And today, we noticed one from myLED which will give your iPhone or iPad with an LED light to provide indication of a missed call or email. You might ask yourself why and the simple answer is that Apple has not provided one on their popular products. I have a Galaxy S3 and really appreciate the flashing LED letting me know of alerts, missed calls, emails, etc. This is missing for all the Apple fans out there.

The myLED Kickstarter project is one that has a great chance at success and they are closing in on the 50% mark for the $18,000 they are asking for to fund the project. The idea is a simple one. When you iPhone or iPad is turned to silent, there simply is no notification mechanism other than looking at the face of the phone. There is no flashing LED to instantly tell you there is something to look at and myLED will provide that notification.

The little myLED plugs into the headphone jack of your iPhone and can respond to any iOS notification that has been issued. There is an myLED app which is download to your iPhone which is used to configure the items you would like to be notified about. Then the myLED device is plugged into the iPhone and turned on. And that is it. You iPhone will now notify you when there is some activity which you need to respond to. Pretty simple concept.

The myLED has a project schedule on KickStarter with plans to begin shipping activities on March 13th. If you want to be one of those who support the project, you can pledge money towards their goal and get the myLED device when it ships. Delivery of the myLED for those who pledge is set for April next year.
