I found out how to retrieve the MAC address of my new Samsung Galaxy S2 by going to applications and scrolling down to “About phone” then “Status” and finally scrolling down to “WiFi MAC address”
Yes, Jit Tan is correct. Also on Android 3.x you go to Settings / About Tablet / Status and it will list the Wi-Fi MAC address and Bluetooth address there.
