Trackball LED Idea

We all know the trackball is illuminated with an LED (or two in some models), and the indicator lights are LEDs. I think it would be pretty cool to move the indicator lights to the trackball. I'm not talking about taking your blackberry apart and moving stuff around a soldering stuff, but in later models. But, the Pearl may be capable of this now. It already has the color change app. Maybe someone can have the app render a certain color for certain events. If I had a Pearl and anyway programming knowledge, I would try it. Anyway, those are my thoughts, what are yours?

That would be cool if it were possible. The only reason I would prefer the indicator (or both in conjunction) is because it is visible when my Berry is in the case... the trackball is not! :D

That's a good point. I don't use the case, so I didn't think of that.

If we're talking future dream applications for trackball color changes, how 'bout this:

The trackball starts off white, but can detect growing displeasure from your significant other over prolonged BlackBerry usage. The trackball could glow greener & greener the more jealousy it detected. Flashing bright green indicates imminent shutdown (of your S.O.).

Handango, are you listening????
