PocketNow is
reporting on a claim that Google is planning on bringing support for Near Field Communication (
NFC) for Bluetooth device pairing in Android OS version 2.3.3. Bluetooth is a useful tool: it allows you to transfer files and data over-the-air, but if you've ever used Bluetooth, you probably know it's a pain to setup. First, you need to know the name of your device, make sure both devices are “discoverable” and then make sure that all transfers are secure.
Google is trying to make life easier for those who use Bluetooth on Android. Android devices that include a Near Field Communications chip (like the Nexus S does and future smartphones will) would in theory be able to “scan” or “bump” other devices to connect to them and use Bluetooth.
Android 2.3.3 is currently in testing with a select group of developers and should be available to the general public soon.
