Just curious how many mobile device users there are out there. You know, Blackberries, Treos, iPhones, etc. Wondering if we got some groups together if we could convince diabetic software providers to create log books, carb databases, etc. for mobile devices. Might help us keep better records, but I don't know if I'm in the minority being a Treo user.

Chime on in.

I have a Blackberry now, but for several years I was using a Palm Zire, and I did have software for that. I could enter BG's, insulin, and there was a huge food database. It was really great and easy to use.
Crackberry here. Company issue though so I'm not sure if I would be able to download software on it other than what they already have.
A lot of current cellphones have Web access. Subscription services such as SweetSpot are completely web-based and may be accessible from your cellphone (it's not accessible from my Verizon LG Env2, but that's an issue I'm going to forward to the developers) to input, view, and manage your diabetes data.

The free version of The Daily Plate is searchable by any Web 2.0 browser; if you wish to log your food as well, you will need to sign up for the paid-subscription ("Gold" level).
Update to this: I've gone to the paid subscription for The Daily Plate. Access through Web 2.0 phone is very basic: I'm unable to log anything other than food, and I'm not able to successfully assign that food to a particular meal without re-adding the food. I'm also unable to delete any foods through the Web 2.0 interface.
I use a Blackberry Curve. Like others, I wouldn't use it or any other separate device to log as I can download that info directly from my pump to my pc. There are some handy programs that I might try out. There's one that works with the GPS to "track exercise actvitiy by monitoring speed, calories burned, and distance traveled during outdoor workouts" (from http://news.softpedia.com/news/Trimble-Releases-GPS-Applications-fo...)

I might also use an app that lists foods, carb counts, calories.

Handango does have a few diabetes specific apps, along with other medical apps at http://www.handango.com/europe/PlatformSoftwareSection.jsp?platform...
I have the 1 gen Iphone! I have tried using one of the new apps Diabetic log but I can't keep up with it. Not enough time to sit and input info

Just thought I'd drop this in here for anyone who might come across it. I've developed this web app to help with my own insulin and carbohydrate calculations. I created a version that anyone can use because so many people wanted to know where I got it and wanted to know if they could use it too. I designed it to run on my iPhone but it should work on any mobile device with internet access.




Free Insulin & Carbohydrate Calculator



It is hosted on a free web server so there are a couple of adds at the top and bottom of the page and a small popup window that can be a little annoying when the page is loaded for the first time but it is a great little app that I use every day.

:D
