it's a form of passphrase security for bluetooth. probably some module in the phone measures the movement. a bluetooth security module uses that information to provide a passphrase. when 2 phones are shaking the exact same whey they should provide the same bluetooth passphrase

if i want to sync my laptop to my printer, should i chuck them out the window at the same time? or just molest them like i'm spanking the monkey? where on my phone menu does it say, 'now shake'? Under connectivity maybe?
