Use Bump Between an iPhone and Android

Bump is a mobile application available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Android-based devices. The app allows you to share content including photos, music, contacts, apps, calendars, and social network info by simply bumping your device with another device running the app. One of the best features is the fact that you can send content between iPhones and Androids without any issues.
