But that assumes that the "app" is able to manage its assets competently.

the iphone deals with assets that lend themselves to simple organisation. Photos work quite well as tiles, Contacts in name order. But what about text files? How do I move from one product to another if it doesn't have a "export" function.

If we go down this route, we are going to end up in the bad old days of lots of small incompatible app with no way to share between them.
