Is it possible to write programs that can access and control the led diods (yellow/blue, and orange) on top of the pocketPC?

this would be neat to add for alerts, or just cool effects, maybe even one that flashes accuratly with data transferring.

Here's (http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/led.html) an nice, concise little article on Pocket PC Developer Network about doing just that. It's a bit old, and I haven't actually tried it, but it seems like a good place to start.

The article is still valid for current devices, you can also call these functions from the .NET Compact Framework (www.opennetcf.org/notification.asp)

You can only access the notification led on the device (usually green), so other LEDs (orange power and blue bluetooth cannot be manipulated through these functions).
