[QUOTE=tuxfoo;374081]The "Bump" application for the iPhone which allows users to share contact information or other data by "bumping" their phones together is now available for Android as well. Bump Technologies appears to be open to releasing Bump for any device with the necessary hardware sensors.
If you're interested in seeing Bump on the N900/Maemo 5, consider voting for it here:

Can't you just use bluetooth ?

The bump probably uses the accelerometer and bluetooth to send/receive the data. How does it work with lots of phones in the area? And do you have to keep bumping say 10 phones if you want to send the data to all 10 people ?

And Bump Technologies just needs to monitor your location and have access to your full contact information. They're good folks though, so there's no cause for worry. Really.

In the end it's just a workaround for missing Bluetooth functionality.

Can't see myself using something like this when I can just bluetooth contact cards etc, but hey, if it attracts more users, why restrict choice. This isn't the iPhone after all.

I've voted. I probably wouldn't use this app myself, but (at least here in the UK) Bump is one of the apps that Apple mentions in its TV adverts, so I assume is popular amongst iPhone users, and might attract them to N900.
