I imagine swapping contact details and public keys on a handshake, and then using secure wireless to transimit data.

Imagine having a transmitter/receiver on your person, say tied to your cell phone and you say to your friend, let me send you this new song I heard, you then set your phone to transmit, your friend sets theirs to receive and you touch fingers for a few moments to transmit the data. This sort of thing could create a sort of forced re-socialization of file-sharing/p2p networks at the most local levels. Interesting piece of tech.

I imagine corporate spies transmitting secrets just by brushing against each other in the street…
