There's Rjdj, which basically runs pd patches without gui (calling them
"scenes") giving you the possibility to use the smartphone's touchscreen and
accelerometer as controllers for the patches. So, you still need your pc to
edit patches, but you can "use" them on the phone. Rjdj is for iphone, but
you can download an rjdj scene player for android devices here:

http://puredata.info/community/projects/software/sceneplayer

or here:

http://autobuild.puredata.info/pdlab/libpd/

At the second link you will also find an archive with some rjdj "scenes" and
Pd Test, it should be something similar to scene player but honestly I
couldn't understand how to use it, i can just test sound (maybe it's
intended just for that?). Here are some resources on how to build pd-patches
for rjdj/scene-player.

A tutorial by mike dixon:
http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/11/howto-hacking-rjdj-with-p.html

Both are iphone-oriented, but they contain very useful informations on how
to start. Other resources:

Some example scenes (very good base to learn):

Rjlib, a collection of useful abstractions to build your scenes, and the
abstractions you need to run a scene in pure data on a pc:

Pd everywhere, on noisegroups. Here are some interesting discussions about
this topic, like the following one:
http://noisepages.com/groups/pd-everywhere/forum/topic/sceneplayer-for-android-vs-rjdjs-scene-player/

I just started to deal with this stuff, and i have still many doubts and
difficulties. For example, i still couldn't understand how to download
scenes from the rjdj website on my android phone, it seems you just can do
this with an iphone. I hope anyone reading this thread has some useful hints
:)
