Bluetooth 357- A Lesson in History

Thanks for visiting the Bluetooth 357 blog. Many of us are familiar with Bluetooth but I did not know where the name 'Bluetooth' came from. After a little research, I have come back with an interesting story.

Harald Bluetooth is an Anglicized name for a tenth-century king of Denmark. During his reign, he unified many tribes who were traditionally hostile to one another. These tribes ranged from Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. The Bluetooth technology was invented in a province of Sweden called Scania which was unified by King Harald. Ericsson paid homage to this by naming their new technology after him.

Thank you for visiting Bluetooth 357. Relating to my last post, Bluetooth's sales have skyrocketed in California. This is because of the recent passage of the Hands-Free Act of California, effectively banning all cell phones which take a hand away from the wheel. Cities across California like San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles reported a spike in sales not found in cities like Phoenix, Nashville, or Raleigh.

Prices may be higher due to the static supply but increased demand. A way to save a few dollars is to buy a slightly used one at an electronics store or search eBay or Craigslist.

Bluetooth 357- Important News

Thanks for stopping by Bluetooth 357. Good news for those of us who have our Bluetooths (or is it Blueteeth maybe?) in our cars in California. For those living in the Golden State, a bill wending its way through the California State Legislature would ban the use of cell phones outright by those operating the vehicle. The only exemptions would be those who have hands-free ear pieces.

This is good news for Bluetooth users. Because the entire thing fits snugly around one's ear, they are always hands-free. If you had been hearing rumors of this bill and had become frightened, don't worry. We Bluetooth users are safe.
