Sure it is possible. But you need to know:

  1. Which Bluetooth protocol you want to use? Some of them are here: Bluetooth protocols
  2. How big data you are willing to share between, because if you have big data then you need to use some other connection.
  3. You need to know how to secure data, Bluetooth is very vulnerable.

And you can tell us what you want to do? You are programmer or just asking? If so use link as suggested in your comments.

EDIT: Here is for example some examples in QT programming language, which I use for developing apps for Android: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/QBluetooth_-_A_Qt_bluetooth_library
