After experiencing and reading about the problems with charging 
(http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212)  I am 
beginning to wonder if it would be a good idea to add a charging LED at some 
point. Most phones show some kind of indication when charging, and a small 
LED would mean you don't have the device in a running state for it to show 
the charging status and it only draws a small amount of current. I'm not 
convinced that using the backlight as an indication is the right thing to do 
in this case.

Obviously I realise "just adding a charging LED" is not an easy task at this 
point but I think it's worth considering for the future.

Cheers,
Paul
