    About time too.

    Highly irritating not being able to share files between Bluetooth devices.

    I picked up a Nokia N8, for the camera as I despise carrying multiple devices around while out partying, at last year's Vmware conference. Used it at the party after the conference to film some 720p videos. Sent a 300+MB file to a friend's HTC something via Bluetooth. No problems.

    Apple users want it, no sorry you gonna need a laptop and iTunes to get it onto your phone. Lol lol lol...

    Watch how it will only be able to send certain files only and only to other iOS devices, they'll probably even charge you for the app to use it.

    Haha suppose that's true and Apple fanbois wouldn't dare admit the iPhone had a flaw, they would be expelled immediately!

    I constantly share files over bluetooth. Glad to see that Apple is playing catch up here. It would make transferring media to my ipad so much easier!

    I guess because I have wifi I've never had the need to use another method so I suppose people will find it useful.

    Thats the hard way of doing it. Well at least as I know it. You have to browse for the file over network shares then copy it (well at least thats how I would do it with wifi). With android I find the file I want. Click on the menu option. Choose the bluetooth option to send... and it sends it right away. My wife is constantly moving pictures between devices with this method. Its a very quick and easy way to move data between phones. Also does not require a wifi network.
