But it's primarily a complaint that there's no built-in service
to upload said mixed-media to, for sharing.
I can think of several off the top of my head, Flickr being the best of them. To your parent comment's point, with an Android phone sharing those is just as "built-in" as the apps that shipped with the phone. It's right in the "share" menu with everything else.
So what the article is looking for isn't even strictly a mobile
UI solution so much as a web service with effectively-
unlimited storage, mixed-media support and some
unspecified privacy/security options.
TFA has a list of what he hopes to see from Apple in 2012. If you replace "iPhone" with "Galaxy Nexus" in the list, all but the very last item are solved, and that's just one more manual step away. And this works for any media-hosting service you want to use, not just the one that Apple blesses.

- joesb 14y agoSo the only thing missing from iPhone is the built-in "share" button. But everything else is already solved with iPhone Flickr app. But since TFA also list Dropbox and Kicksend, both are not builtin in iOS, it seems the author would accept non-builtin Flickr solution as well. So the whole article would come down to "I don't know Flickr exists and can share video".
