DDMS is indeed the tool for the job. You may want to check out Romain's recent post on the subject on the Android blog: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/02/track-memory-allocations.html
I think you have to configure something to get your app to be seen by DDMS on a real device. I cannot recall exactly what that is right now, and will try to look it up. But for the moment why not just use the emulator? When I run my app on the emulator I see it in DDMS right away and am able to use the allocation tracker. I would not expect there to be any significant difference in terms of object creation running your app on the emulator and a real device. Hope that helps!
