Android read error log from handset

Question

How can I read the error log applications make? Is there any software which reads the error log from the handset and displays it?

I don't want to debug the app using eclipse, I'm looking for a handset based error log viewer.

There are a number of free applications in the Android Market which will collect the device log.

One which looks promising is Log Collector, not least because it is open source. You can find it on Google Code here and on androlib.com here.

Here's another Log Collecting app produced by the creators of Locale.

I quite like the one I wrote ;-)
It's called SendLog

Alogcat seems OK. It's a bit verbose, though.
