MeeGo's ShareUI is available on Nokia's Harmattan platform, this is an example of how to use it.

Note that this will NOT work on Windows or Mac OS X.

It is akin to Intents in the Android universe in that new applications can register themselves to handle share requests.

This API is not exposed in Nokia's Harmattan QML Components, but rather in the underlying 'Platform' APIs. Here they are
