There's APIs for accessing some or all of the same data, but there aren't ones to set defaults. Most jarringly, opening a web link in some app will still launch Safari, unless the app happens to provide its own means of choosing a different browser.
This is one I'm hoping for as well. Namely, the ability to set a default camera app for the phone that isn't Apple's. I love the slide to unlock the camera on the lock screen, I just would rather it be a different camera.

I'd also like the ability (that I've wanted since iOS 1) to choose which default apps sync and which don't. If we're given the ability to set other defaults, then there isn't a reason to keep the unused former apps on the phone.

90% of statistics can be made to say anything 50% of the time.
