Hi all,

Been lurking for a while on and off. Finally got some free time, so
I've been learning Java the last few days so I can whip up an app or
two I'd really like to see come to the phone/OS.

I've glanced at the documentation and such, but I didn't really see it
listed so I figured I'd ask to see if I can even pull this first app
off - is there anything in the code or any easy way to detect nearby
android phones (say, in the same room as you)?

The first app I have in mind (maybe someone's already working on it,
but even so, I'd like to try to whip up a version on my own even if it
doesn't get released, for the experience) will let you configure
profiles with your info (Home - name, phone #, e-mail address, Work -
Name, company name, Phone #, E-mail, Website) within the app of your
contact info for different situations and if you ever meet someone who
also has an Android phone, they can launch the app and set their phone
to receive, then you can launch the app, select a profile to send them
(if it's a business contact, they don't need your home address) and
look at what phones in the area are in receive mode (in case someone
else happens to be running this app at the same time, such as at a
convention/conference/bar) and select the phone in question and click
"Send". Once the info is received on the other person's phone, they
have the option to edit/add it to their contacts list.

I know it sounds ambitious... does anyone feel this would be difficult
to implement? I think it'd be something nice and basic to have. It's
an idea I've been kicking around in my head for the last few months...
