Or buy any phone with Java support (MIDP2.0 and JSR-75) and run
MnemoJoJo. My Nokia 6121 cost USD120 and I've been reviewing my cards
on it daily for two weeks already.

There are still some problems with MnemoJoJo (it's currently only
recommended for beta testers):
 * Security prompts on older Nokia phones.
 * Exceptions on Nokia 5800 and Blackberry 8320.
But I'm working on them and I'm happy to accept patches.

There are some (emulator) screenshots at:

The MnemoGoGo library is written in Java to the MIDP API, but I expect
it would be easy to port to the Android API, which is different. It
interfaces with the N-days export plugin and reimplements key parts of
Mnemosyne, viz card scheduling and grading. Many bugs have already
been fixed and the source code is released under a BSD license.

The MnemoJoJo application is also written in Java but it would be
better to rewrite a similar client from scratch for Android.
