Code:
#!/bin/bash
exec 6<file2
while read A1
do
    read A2 <&6
    echo "${A1}@${A2}"
done < file1
6<&-

OR try this

Code:
i=1
max=`wc -l file1 | awk '{print $1}'`
while [ $i -le $max ];do
var1=`awk 'NR=='$i'{print;exit}' file1`
var2=`awk 'NR=='$i'{print;exit}' file2`

echo "$var1@$var2"

i=$(( $i + 1 ))
done

Small variation to Frans' suggestion:
Code:
while read x && read y<&3
do 
  echo "$x@$y"
done<infile1 3<infile2
