This gets my vote too - but perhaps use a different colour for the "used" count
- and the used count should be on all numbers including the selected number.

Maybe this issue could be resolved in a different way.
Frankly, I am not so interested in how many 4s, 8s, or whatever are left open
on the board. I am more interested in whether a number appears in every 9x9
square, i.e. when there are nine of a number on the board. If I know there are
some missing, I can easily determine how many and where they are by scanning
the board.
Currently, in order to determine this, I must make the extra step of pretending
to fill in another cell to see whether the number I am interested is filled in
blue on the pop-up keyboard.
What if you created a list of nine mini-buttons, white outlined with black
background, to the right of the elapsed time counter. Then, when there are nine
of any number on the board, you could change the corresponding button to blue
(same as you do on the data entry pop-up).
I doubt this would be too difficult to implement - it is just a matter of
displaying currently tracked information in a different, more useful way.
If you wanted to get tricky, you could make the buttons active so that when one
of them is selected, it would show the locations of the corresponding number on
the board for a few seconds. If the buttons are too small, however, it might be
difficult to implement this using the touch screen.
