I've written about OpenID in mobile apps (specifically on the iPhone):<div><br></div><div><a href="http://wiki.factoryjoe.com/OpenID-for-Mobile">http://wiki.factoryjoe.com/OpenID-for-Mobile</a></div><div><br></div><div>
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).</div><div><br></div><div>Chris<br>

We need a sample flow on a target platform so that we can "reality check."<br>
What mobile platform are you having in mind?<br>
