I'm definitly not an expert when it comes to mobile apps, but there are quite a few known REST (or XMLRPC or else) APIs around that include at least user authentication - think google (including youtube, blogger etc), dailymotion, most blogging platforms, etc. As far as I'm concerned, I'd definitly use the API for authentication too (possibly using OAuth). wrt/ registration, well, I have not checked if any of the above APIs support this, but from your Django app's POV, it's still all about HTTP requests / responses anyway so well...
