As I use it now is that I do open a browser, just for the granting access step.
In my Java app I've added lobo just for that. -

Well, that's the whole point of OAuth. It offers a standard way for dealing with the flow of browser-based authorization.
For desktop applications or gadgets/widgets, you will invariably need to pop open a browser at some point. Or send someone an SMS. Or somehow get them to confirm their account through a secondary method outside the original app. Fortunately this flow is becoming more common.
To see how this flow actually works, check out these screens from iMovie '08. They don't use OAuth, but it's the same flow:

How does OAuth work with non-browser based Consumer applications?It seems simple and easy, after reading the "get started", to imagine using it in browser applications. How does it work with other kinds of applications? (stand-alone programs, vista gadgets, etc.) There are no redirects there.
