@Rune in the beta version you will be able to register your name as soon as you install the app. @dargonar is working on it right now.
Sounds great, is the free registration through faucet.bitshares.org?
Also do you have any ideas for how to link identities in the future? Users will want to have the same hot account on both their laptop and their phone. I was thinking maybe simply sharing private keys by scanning a QR code on the windows client. But I guess there's an even bigger issue that it's difficult to sync between several clients.
Maybe you could simply register separate names under the same top level name for each device, like laptop.username, mobile.username, coldwallet.username. Then they could have separate keys but stay unified for bitshares login. I actually like this also because it would make for excellent 2 FA security if you have a multisig address that requires signature from both laptop.username and mobile.username.
There was a discussion about how mobile/laptop clients would sync for bitshares login in the thread on reddit and I've been thinking about it since because it's an area where all other local authentication systems have failed in the past, including bitID.
