+\title Qt5 Local Connectivity Reference Documentation
+\page connectivity.html
+\brief The Local Connectivity APIs facilitates communication with local devices.
+
+\tableofcontents
+
+\section1 Overview
+
+The Qt local connectivity addon APIs provides a set of APIs for communicating with local devices.
+
+The current version of the local connectivity APIs includes support for Bluetooth and Near Field
+Communication (NFC) technologies. Bluetooth is a short-range (less than 100 meters) wireless
+technology. It has a reasonably high data transfer rate of 2.1 Mbit/s, which makes it ideal for
+transfering data between devices.
+
+The Bluetooth API provides classes for controlling the local Bluetooth device, discovering devices
+in the local vacinity, discovering services provided by those devices, publishing services and both
+server and client sockets for L2CAP and RFCOMM protocols.
+
+NFC is an extremely short-range (approx. 1 centimeter) wireless techonology and has a maximum
+transfer rate of 424 kbit/s. NFC is ideal for transfer small packets of data when two devices are
+touched together.
+
+The NFC API provides APIs for interacting with NFC Forum Tags and NFC Forum Devices, including
+target detection and loss, registering NDEF message handlers, reading and writing NDEF messages to
+NFC Forum Tags, send tag specific commands. The API also provides client and server LLCP sockets.
+
+\section1 Known Issues and Limitations
+
+\section2 NFC
+
+The NFC API is only supported on Maemo6 and Symbian^3 and the Qt Simulator. On Symbian^3 the API is
+fully functional. On the Qt Simulator only target detection and loss and tag access are support. On
+Maemo6 the following features are \bold NOT supported:
+
+\list
+    \o Connectionless LLCP sockets (both client and server).
+    \o Tag type specific access.
