I have changed the php api to 
http://code.google.com/p/oauth-php/

and now i was able to get access to the user preferences.

Is it posible to get the username by an api call? Or an other unique 
identifier to store it to my application?

I think it is not a good idea to open a changeset and afterwards have  a look 
who has created it.

Perhabs someone could add a username and mailaddress api call?

Suggestion:

GET /api/0.6/user/account/username
GET /api/0.6/user/account/mail

Also:
GET /api/0.6/user/account/picture
GET /api/0.6/user/account/languages
GET /api/0.6/user/account/description
GET /api/0.6/user/account/position/lat
GET /api/0.6/user/account/position/lon

would be nice.

I have an other problem: 

I saw that my user account is having much tokens, because my application is 
always creating a new one, when the user want to have access to my app, as 
the user is not loggin in at my aplication I can not find a older token in my 
database.

Is there a good reason why one user should have more than one access token for 
one application?
