  • no builtin possibility of sharing data between apps (apps even cannot access the user's pictures)

 

Just curious about what purpose you want apps to share data.

Also, it is not entirely true that apps cannot access a user's pictures.  MS wants application developers to provide extensions to the hubs for functionality that should be used in the hubs.  So, if an app developer wants to process a photo or provide some sort of functionality for photos, the app developer would register their app with the Photo Hub.  Once the user is in the photo hub and selects a photo/photos, then user can then select an application that they would like to use with those photos.  At that point the photo/photos would be passed to the application for use with whatever the app developer wants to do.
