Vox Sylvatici

Chris Clark of Release Candidate One makes a brilliant suggest to implement Services (here and here) for the iPhone OS. He explains:

If you’re not familiar, the Mac’s Services menu is something it inherited from NeXTSTEP, and it’s not unlike the Unix command line’s pipe. A Service takes the current selection and sends it to another application to be worked on, which may or may not pass the result back to the original caller. Services are under-utilized on the Mac because we’re so accustomed to copy and paste, drag and drop, and the routine of saving a file to the desktop with one application so you can open it with another. But iPhone OS, lacking two out of three of these options, could foster a Services explosion.

Of note in the post is the use of the excellent iPhone prototyping tool, Briefs.
