[OpenID] UCI Idea: An iPhone OP (?)

[David Fuelling]

Yes, only one app at a time on iPhone.  However, you can open apps via URL,
and then head back to mobile safari via another url.  Not sure if everything
would work because there's no POST involved (these would be equivalent of a
GET) but it's possible.  The bigger problem with trying to do this in mobile
safari is direct verification, where the RP makes a callback to the OP -- in
this case, since Safari would be running, the OP would be turned off.
