Applications which run on mobile devices have special user interface requirements. I think Apple did a great job introducing innovative controls on the iPhone/iPod touch platform.

Now, I have to design an application for the Windows Mobile platform using the .NET Compact Framework (Visual Studio 2008). I wonder if there are some commercial or open source UI control sets available which are similar to the iPhone / iPod touch UI elements:

Scrolling panels based on gestures
Instead of a dropdownlist: a new panel with a large list of items
Sliding panels
etc.

I couldn't find any useful products/code. Maybe there is somebody out there with more experience who could help.
