Safety Light for iPhone, or Can the Flashlight App be Redeemed?

Safety Light ($0.99 on iTunes apps) riddles us this — can one of the App Store’s most maligned categories, the flashlight app, be redeemed by one of the iPhone’s premiere developers?
Along with fart apps and tip calculators, there’s little that’s been derided more than the humble “lets make a white screen and charge $1 for it” flashlight app. With Safety Light, the Iconfactory’s Craig Hockenberry, creator of Twitterrific, adds function to the flash.
