That does definitely replicate the feature of AirDrop more closely. Do you have any experience with it? Does it work reliably?

A thing to look out for is Wifi Aware, which would enable the functionality if implemented. That is what was recently also used by google to enable android<->ios Airdrop

why another wifi standard? we already have wifi adhoc mode, and at least 2 different wifi directs. why couldn’t they just build upon that?
