I have a new book coming out with O’Reilly Media, Mobile Design Pattern Gallery: UI Patterns for iOS, Android and more. It has more than 400 screenshots from iOS, Android, BlackBerry, webOS, Windows and Symbian applications. Check out the site, blog, and Flickr photostream and win a copy of the book. http://www.mobiledesignpatterngallery.com
Hi! Nice collection, thank you! My name is Sergey and I’ve launched the similar service with daily updates. Check it out great mobile UI patterns at http://inspired-ui.com.

Could aslo add App Sketch books and iOS GUI Element kits from http://www.appmockuptools.com.
Sorry I missed this by a bit, but I noticed while doing my periodic google.
Aside from having a whole book of patterns, shared freely at the wiki, one page is a collection of every other mobile pattern library I can find, even the ones I hate.

I found that most of these sites focus only on phones…
I’m not sure if tablets fall under the ‘mobile’ category, but I find that patterns for tablet devices are often very different than smartphones.
If you’re looking for tablet-specific patterns I’dd suggest adding http://www.tabpatterns.com to that list.
These are great resources either way, thanks for putting it together!
