the program hes talking about isnt the "bluetooth file share" otherwise known as bluex that we all know about - and refuse to pay for
this is a new app....a free one......definately new coz every few weeks i search "bluetooth" in the market and this is the first iv seen it there

and looking at all the comments, the first one was yesterday....so it looks like he was 100% correct when saying "brand new app"

thank you for sticking up for me.

Ok, my mistake. I apologize. But you must agree, when you type "bluetooth file share" in the market - just bluex is shown. I will try now this for you are talking about - it.medieval.blueftp

There is a new version. It says it works on Donut (cyanogenmod). I don't know when hero will be able to transfer files I can confirm this doesn't work on Hero rom.

It does, but it still doesn't offer full functionality. I can pull files off other phones and push files to them just fine, but that still depends wholely on the other device having decent bluetooth support.
Other phones still can't push files to an android phone or pull files from it, which also means that there's no way at all to share files between android phones.

Latest version of it.medieval.blueftp works fine here at least for pushing files
to my linux box. It seems to be based/inspired on android-bluetooth a
Experimental unofficial Bluetooth API (http://code.google.com/p/android-bluetooth/)
for Android by Stefano Sanna (http://www.gerdavax.it/category/android/)
released under a Apache License 2.0 .
More about Bluetooth File Transfer (OBEX FTP) for Android can be found
http://www.medieval.it/content/view/61/86/.
Main features are :

"Main features:

    * Download/upload items from/to any device with OBEX FTP support (almost on all phone models);
    * You can also send files using OBEX OPP profile (available on all phone models with Bluetooth);
    * Ability to cut/move/copy and paste files between devices and/or to manage local filesystem;
    * Create new folders on both local and Bluetooth filesystem;
    * Search for any nearby Bluetooth device and read its informations;
    * Bookmark list allows you to save your favorite device without searching it again;
    * Free :)"

Latest version is:

"Version 1.10

    * Fixed bug when a Bluetooth device is connected and it forces the disconnection;
    * Should be fixed Android 1.6 Donut (tested with CyanogenMod 4.1.11.1);
    * Switched back to Android 1.1 (SDK level 2) for best compatibility;
    * Fixed strange critical crash bug on start;
    * Added Italian language."

Hope this little research could help.

This is good stuff. The unofficial android-bluetooth API supports scanning, pairing, service discovery and RFCOMM. All we really need is an obex implementation on top of that. A quick search shows at least one open source Java OBEX implementation (actually J2ME based on JSR-82 bluetooth API) (avetanaobex@sourceforge). I haven't looked at any source yet, but it might be an easier path to port this OBEX implementation to the work with the android-bluetooth API. This would get us where we want to be.
