What was the supposed purpose for oath 2.0?

I would have been happy with things the same but simply a better "two legged" version to allow better interoperability with trusted services from native apps. Having oAuth 1 kinda bound to the browser has been a minor headache for my team. But for the most part I think oAauth 1 works well. It just needs some official specifications for usage in non-web apps to put an end to all of the inconsistent solutions that people are creating out of necessity.
