Hi Matt, thanks for the follow-up. I've still got some questions ... ;-)

You won't find any user being uncomfortable with reading their direct messages in my Twitter client. I'm just wondering, would it help asking my users and provide some feedback from them? Like maybe 10.000 saying they want to continue to use direct messages within Gravity? Would that help? > level of access you have requested, while there could be others who > complain.

This is not possible on many Symbian apps/phones. Isn't there any other way? You will lock out a lot of people next month. Does this make sense given that xAuth apps do have access to the users' passwords!? I don't really understand this. Apart from the problem that Symbian apps cannot open the browser on some phones, the current Oauth login page is even crashing the browser on some of the models. Are you aware of this?
