Blinkit: turn your iPod into a torch

October 20, 2006 At last count, more than 3000 accessories are available for the iPod, from the ordinary to the outlandish, but none quite as downright handy as Blinkit. Turning an iPod into a torch might at first sound like the plot of a Legally Blond movie, and the fact that it blinks in time with the music might add weight to that theory, but having a torch is very useful if you go out at night a lot and it’s not always cool to carry a torch and in some neighbourhoods you might even get locked up. An iPod with a discrete accessory offering serious lighting power makes sense – it’s small, low-bucks (US$30) and very useful when you consider its high-output beam is visible up to several hundred yards away.
