Going back to the Palm OS philosophy -- files and databases are
generally hidden from the user.  They just want their data, and the OS
wasn't designed to be complicated with the user having to pick a
location to save things.  Not having a standard dialog was a way to
discourage applications from being built in the same old
desktop-oriented design.
