Android 2.3.3 brings NFC and Bluetooth together

The Android team has released SDK for Android 2.3.3 recently which supports NFC to pair up with Bluetooth by simply touching 2 devices together. This is how it works:
"To use NFC to kick off a Bluetooth session, first start a running socket server on one device, using a randomly generated service UUID. Then, create an NDEF message encoding the MAC address of the phone’s Bluetooth device and the UUID of the listening service. When this message is received by the joining phone, it will have enough information to connect to the Bluetooth server socket." - quoted from MobiSocial News
