OpenFeint, one of the cross-platform social gaming networks, has the good sense to perform automatic log-ins on my iPhone 3GS, but not on my iPad. As it turns out, you have to manually tie your OF account to an e-mail address if you want to log in from any of your other devices (e.g. an iPad).
I found this out after struggling for ten minutes to play Kard Combat on my tablet, only to repeatedly fail the login process. OpenFeint kept telling me that I hadn’t registered an e-mail with them, but that seemed preposterous, since my nickname was already taken, and most every online service I’ve ever used has required a password or an e-mail while signing up.
