One chip increases the power to 800 milliamps while the other increases it to 1 amp. The increased power output is converted into more light. TI has said the chips will be available for manufacturers to build into their handsets within 4 to 6 weeks.

Is this really what we need?

I don't know how many of you go out to bars in NYC, but there is an amazing problem with people using those crazy bright camera phone flashes. In a dark bar they really are blinding - and it isn't just for a second. They stay on while the user lines up the shot etc. I can't believe these things are going to get even brighter. At least it sounds like the battery will die more quickly.

Does anyone else hate these camera phones with flashes?
