> Android has intents which are a big step in the right direction. With a few tweaks to user experience they could solve this problem on the platform.
What tweaks would 'solve this problem'? As far as I can tell, Android intents work flawlessly for transferring content between apps. I can click an attachment on an email, open it in an editor, make changes, and then share that file back on a social network or another email. Each step taking only two taps. The speed of downloading attachments could do with some work in most cases, but that's just a hardware issue and will probably be far faster in another generation or two of hardware.
I have a feeling the author has never really used an Android device much? Or am I missing some key piece missing from intents?
