That is a very odd and long story that you would've never have guessed. Thanks for the information! I have always wanted to know how it was named.

Good article from the "horse's mouth" as it were. I knew about the Danish king but didn't realize that it was supposed to be a temporary name. Still don't know why Bluetooth seems to only refer to cell phone earpieces....

If they can make it faster, I would love it. I know my PS3 uses it for the SIXAXIS and Bluray Remote. I would rather a wireless flashdrive any day if the speed was there.

From what i understand, they are trying to improve on the range and speed of bluetooth.
