I'd like to see Apple allow more app association, meaning if I get an email with a PDF in it on my iPad, I'd like to be able to use open with and have it list all the apps on my iPad the file can be opened with. As of now, only certain apps get the privilege of being listed in the open with.

As for associating a file with an application, I'm intelligent enough to know what program I want to use with a given file at a given time, so I've no real need for them as well. Does "open with" create a duplicate copy for the new program to manipulate? If so, then there's a real problem knowing WHICH of several copies is the latest.
