iOS 5 Wish List, Item Two
It was almost a year ago when Chris Clark wrote a post called A Services Menu for iPhone, and it still resonates with me today.
Every single day, I wish I could pull up the dictionary from iBooks or Instapaper, while I’m using Reeder or Safari. I constantly wish I could send a clipping to Pastebot from any app at any time. I want to invoke Readability (which is included in Reeder) when I tap-hold a link in Tweetbot. When I tap-hold a photo in Safari, I’d love the option to crop/rotate the image with PhotoPad or Pastebot before saving it.
This is quite possibly the most platform-opening idea I’ve seen any non-Apple-employee come up with, and I hope against hope that Apple implements something similar in iOS 5.
