Aaron Tay of the National University of Singapore, blogging at Musings on Librarianship, has done a fascinating job of assessing library mobile sites with an eye to commonality of features. Capturing the essence of what library developers expect users want to do in this environment, his final list (see the conclusion at the end of his post) includes functionality to permit quick look-ups in the library catalog and mobile enabled databases, basic contact and service availability (hours, directions, computer availability, conference rooms, etc.) and links to mobile enabled web2.0 accounts on Twitter/Flickr/YouTube and Facebook.

His posting includes screenshots and is well worth the time of those working in mobile development.
