Has anyone found an app that works like a hi/low beam headlight switch for the backlight? I'm so tired of going into the settings and dialing down the backlight brightness at night if I want to use the iPod in bed, and then having to go back in to raise it during the day.

What I want is an app I can tap once to go to some pre-set high backlight level, and tap a second time to switch to a low intensity nighttime level.

I tried searching the app store but can't find anything like this.

It's really too bad that the backlight auto-adjust is so terrible on the device. The macbooks do such a nice job of adjusting their backlight level across the full brightness spectrum..

EDIT: Nevermind.....idiotic Apple only exposes backlight API's as private functions, which means no app can manipulate the backlight and be sold in the AppStore. @#$&*^@#$@#
