WHY BLUETOOTH IS CALLED "BLUETOOTH"

                Why Bluetooth is called "BLUETOOTH"

Most of us will be amazed by the names which are being  given to some of the common technical gadgets as well as services.
One of the very famous common name is  "Bluetooth". It is a small but very useful part of todays social life. Without this, it will be impossible to explore or to be social. So, have you ever thought that 'how this name came into minds of the creators'.

Actually, 


The name Bluetooth is derived from a 10th century king, Harald Bluetooth, who was the King of Denmark and Norway between 940 and 985 AD. He is known for his unification of previously warring tribes from Denmark (including Scania present-day Sweden, where the Bluetooth technology was invented) and Norway. Bluetooth likewise was intended to unify different technologies like computers and mobile phones. The Bluetooth logo merges the Nordic runes analogous to the modern Latin H and B: (Haglaz) and (Berkanan). The logo is similar to an older logo for Beauknit Textiles, a division of Beauknit Corporation. That logo, using the obvious connection of a reversed K and B for Beauknit, is wider and has rounded corners, but is otherwise the same.

BLUETOOH RISE:

In 1994 Ericsson Mobile Communications initiated a study to investigate the feasibility of a low-power low-cost radio interface between mobile phones and their accessories. In Feb 1998, five companies Ericsson, Nokia, IBM, Toshiba and Intel formed a Special Interest Group (SIG). The group contained the necessary business sector members - two market leaders in mobile telephony, two market leaders in laptop computing and a market leader in digital signal processing technology. It is estimated that before year 2002, Bluetooth will be a built-in feature for more than 100 million mobile phones and several million communication devices ranging from handsets and portable PCs to desktop computers and notebooks.
