Anything similar for android? Looks like nice project for hobby hacking.

  At least as far as I'm aware, somewhat. But it's probably not as transparent or as stable. Super-local: android beam does NFC pairing -> bluetooth transfer. Not exactly multi-peer, but perhaps it's possible to keep those connections open? Peer-to-peer: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/p2p/package-summary.html http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/p2p/... though apparently it's a bit buggy. A game or two I've played seems to use this, and it works 90+% of the time, but it's definitely not foolproof and there are random drops.
