networking

I'm working on some apps for the android platform and I have two problems that I'm not quite sure how to approach, and both are closely related.

How can I send a relatively small data file from one android device to another (preferably over the internet or directly through wireless network)?
Is it possible to create a temporary p2p live data stream from one android device to another? An example application would be to stream low-res video from phone A's camera to phone B, or audio.

I would much appreciate being pointed in the right direction on either issue (File transfer or real time data transfer).

Ok so from all my research I'm fairly positive P2P is not possible in Silverlight 4 (in browser).
