When were talking about different ways to use accelerometers.. Bob meet's Alice and they both want each others contact information. First Bob and Alice shake their phones in an predetermined password pattern to unlock the bluetooth/zigbe/(whatever-short-range-radio). Then they both shake their phones in rythm to an short tune playing on Alice's phone. The phones then pair with the other phone, exchange simple authkeys and Vcards. Now Bob and Alice has authenticated each others phones and they got each others phone number. Lucky Bob and Alice!
On an more serious note, Two such paired bluetooth devices could also exchange an RSA/DSA encryption key to ensure private SMS/MMS/conversations.
