For the record, this has been discussed in the past and we've decided to not implement this for various reasons (primarily for security).

Allow shared storage between apps

If a developer has multiple apps or a suite of apps, it would be interesting if there could be shared storage. For example, a widget could read from data written by a related app to display summary info, last activity info, etc.

This is a somewhat regular request, so I thought it would be nice to list it here. :)

    Security could be done with needing to use a specific UUID.  Sure not perfect but what is the worst that could happen?  All apps on the store could register what UUIDs they listen to and which they send to so Garmin could know if there is a rogue app and an app that listens to a UUID could be notified of another app that wants to send it data and report to Garmin it shouldn't be allowed.  (assuming if from the same developer account it is fine)
