Data transfer betweeen two nfc capable devices without using android beam

I am developing an app with which I transfer a vcard between two nfc capable devices. I am able to do it if both the devices have android beam. I want to know if it is possible to transfer information from an ICS device(Having android beam) to a gingerbread device(which does not have android beam)...Thanks in advance..

Android supports two modes for operating with NFC:

P2P -> Android Beam // Tag Reader -> "Advanced NFC Framework"

If i'm not wrong, Android Beak is supported in Gingerbread too, so you shoudn't have to face any problem exchanging data between two Android NFC devices with Beam.

The second way, is only for making operations with Tags. Android does not support card emulation officially so this is not an option for you.

Hope this helps you.
