I have a server(web) application and have exposed RESTful webservices so that third party companies can develop thier mobile applications on top of it. I want to have oAuth for authentication.

I understand how oAuth works for third party websites, but when it comes to mobile applications, I am not sure how the redirect and callback and sharing of the secret will work?

The apps would probably best use embedded WebKit -views (UIWebView on iOS/WebViewClient on Android. Don't know about others, but there are most certainly equivalents on BlackBerry etc) to do the request to the server and possibly accomodate the login form needed.
