If I make two iPhone applications, how can/should I share custom data (not contacts and stuff like that) among them?
Thanks!

There are two different ways you might go about this.
1) The data you need to share is non-persistent. In other words you need to launch one application with a piece of data that it can do something with. In this case you would register a special URL scheme per application.
You can find out more information about URL schemes via Craig Hockenberry in his [redacted] blog post.
2) The data you need to share is persistent. In other words you need something like a data file that both applications can read and write too. As far as I know there isn’t a safe way to do this other than storing your data on a remote server. If you need the data accessible without a data connection then you would need to figure out a way to sync data between the individual apps and the remote server.
