I’ve been checking the Maemo Downloads site and found this cool little applet called Simple Brightness for the Nokia N900. It adds an option to the top control panel that lets you quickly adjust the screen brightness. I made a video to show you how it looks.

You can also watch this video in HD on Youtube. Subscribe to the channel to preview the latest videos before they get published on the blog.

The applet works exactly as it is described. It is developed by Faheem Pervez and can be installed directly from the Nokia N900 by going to Maemo Downloads.

I like this a lot because it enhances the already awesome control panel on the Nokia N900. Even without this applet, users have out-of-the-box quick access to the access points, bluetooth activation, messaging status, clock, and profile.

I wonder what other options developers can add. What would you want?
