I personally like and recommend<a href="http://www.mobilecommons.com/organizations/mobile-advocacy/" rel="nofollow">MobileCommons</a>. It just works. Orgs like Planned Parenthood have used it to fundraise via mobile. I also think This American Life is also using it to raise funds via SMS.

The REST API is fairly solid (and is getting an ever increasing unit test coverage base). It does the basics of creating contacts/contributions/locations/activities quite well at a granular level. Elaborating on what is missing / non-robust will help us close down the holes :) lobo Michelle:

Thanks so much for coming and participating, really made me very happy. As far as data collection on a mobile is concerned, also check out this guide that Melissa Loudon wrote on MobileActive.org: http://mobileactive.org/new-resource-using-mobile-phones-data-collection. It's a useful overview of the processes and some of the tools available (and there is more data collection apps than you can shake a stick at ;) Great to see you, and looking forward to seeing you next week as well!
