I have one and was thinking the same thing.  I got carried
away in my mental design:  a database of cameras, lenses,
and films from which you could select out in the field.
When you find a potential image you fill in the missing
MAOFD parameters and it spits out the answers.  Oh, and
since it knows all about the lenses, it could have a DOF
calculator and shutter speed compensation table for those
shutters that don't quite match.  After the shot, it saves
that data along with other image data (exposure, focus,
composition, etc.) entered by you.  When you get home,
you have a nice detailed database of your day's photo
shoot to download into your home computer.

OK, that is probably a little too ambitious, so the MAOFD
calculator would be a BIG plus for now.

I have just started reading up on how to program Palm
Pilots, but, due to my lack of free time, I would be
very happy to try out anything that you developed.
Let me know...
