Does anyone know how the sandboxing works to allow a camera, gallery and dropbox app to access the same locally stored image files? Or for local contacts to be shared?

A media API is being developed (in co-operation with the W3C) to allow exactly that.

Further, apps will be able to request "trusted app" status to run with less cross domain restrictions.
