Facebook user login using session key from my Facebook app

I have a simple Desktop Facebook application that allows a user to fetch some of their Facebook data (written in Java). This information is then sent to your phone.

When a user sees something interesting (eg a new comment) on their phone "facebook-viewer" (JavaME), they can click to launch the browser and go to "facebook.com" to view it.

Is there a way to get a pre-authenticated url to send to the phone (using the session key purchased from the desktop) so they don't have to "log in" to their phone browser?

So from what I've read, it looks like this functionality is available in a private API, but for normal people it means that "plafayette" says: impossible.

No, the user must also be logged into the mobile app. Using the Facebook mobile app is the same as using your desktop app on another computer. Login to the system must be done for security reasons. If you can go through pre-authenticated URLs, it will be a major security issue, since URLs are easy to steal. See mobile authentication .
