This makes no sense at all. The connected state has nothing to do with the capability of sending or receiving files. The connections will be created on demand and as needed.

i think what it meant to say is, as soon as one device capable of obex transfer is paired or connected should be able to send and/or receive files by default without having to launch another program, in this case probably gnome-obex-server.

You always need to start a program for that task if you split UI code and actual profile implementation. However the D-Bus service activation should take care of this in the background.
