The "Share..." option is the built-in OS one, which bypasses our custom share options sheet (Share as image, share as text), and the "Share" option presents our custom sheet. I suggest we use the "default" share option as the "share text" option, and change "Share" to trigger the current "Share as image" option. This would also obviate the custom share options UX.

Agreed. As stated in other tickets for share-a-fact, would like to see us use standard share sheets and flow.

For iOS 5.0 Beta, we will disable the native "share..." option and only use wikipedia's share sheet.
