Where can OAuth be used?  Is it just for the web?

Most OAuth service providers will have websites where Users can
authenticate and grant permissions.  However OAuth Consumers can, will, and
do run on all sorts of platforms including desktop applications, mobile and
set top devices, as well as on the Web.

However, typical usage does require that you have some sort of browser to be
redirected to upon the initial authorization. If there is an indirect way of
authoring your request_token without having to login directly to a website, I 
would
be interested in knowing but in my experience with oauth it does not work any 
other way.
