I used to use this guy's program for palm pilot when memorizing some foreign language vocabulary. It was a pretty nice program and he put a lot of thought into the repetition and spacing algorithm. The author seems to think that memorization is the most important thing in the world, the justification being that things can only have subconscious connections once memorized.
If only all my problems could be solved by memorizing facts!

It's non-free though. There are several more modern alternatives out there. Most people I know (who are into SRS programs) use Anki: www.ankisrs.net You can even download pre-made decks from within the app (it's something like File->download->shared deck) that other people have made available for all kinds of topics (heavy emphasis on foreign languages).
