DOFC for mobile?

Is there a particular DoF calculator for java enabled mobile devices you would really recommend? I am looking for one for my blackberry. I found something by Jibble, extremely primitive to use, so if you have something more interactive and with bigger letters, I would be grateful. The one I am using has really microscopic letters, way too tiny for my 50 yrs old eyes, even with glasses....
Thanks,
Cezar M.

I had one for the Palm, but I've given up on it. Like Jesse, I've had better luck just shooting 1/3 of the way in. For some reason the numbers don't work out, and I've been too lazy to recreate the numbers (i.e. tape measure).

I do the same, but sometimes knowing the number is useful. For example having a flower two feet from the lens and a spectacular background behind. Plus a strong wind not allowing you to force f/16 or more...
