[OpenID] Mobile OpenID support?

[Chris Messina]

I've written about OpenID in mobile apps (specifically on the iPhone):
http://wiki.factoryjoe.com/OpenID-for-Mobile

You might check out Dopplr on the iPhone — which uses OAuth and allows to
signin via OpenID through the web browser (currently the only practice that
supports OpenID in non-browser software).
