Description

This could be a useful feature for theme authors.
A theme can indicate "posted via wordpress for iphone" etc.

We cannot guarantee that all the apps will send a meta data about the app. We can get this info via User Agent parameter in $_SERVER

I don't think making this XML-RPC specific is a good approach.

This sounds like plugin territory to me. The official WordPress mobile apps currently offer an in-app option to append such "Posted from my <device name>" lines to new posts, and any other systems using XML-RPC can do the same. And by adding text directly to the post, it will appear in RSS and all other representations of the post.
