Wired.com’s Charlie Sorrell’s recent iPhone article includes a possible insight into how Cut and Paste might work in the iPhone’s one-app-at-a-time paradigm.
Imagine a system-wide menu added to all applications which, instead of shuffling items off to a clipboard, lists all the places you can send that file (or text string). This would be like the existing “Open with” option available in the Mac’s right-click menu — each application effectively reports to the OS exactly what kind of files it can handle and the OS remembers this. Thus a picture could be sent to not only the Photo app, but to any other photo program.
Smells interesting…
