The name "Bluetooth" is taken from the 10th century Danish King Harald Blatand - or Harold Bluetooth in English. During the formative stage of the Trade Association a code name was needed to name the effort. Over an evening discussing European history and the future of wireless technology several felt it was appropriate to name the technology after King Blatand. He had been instrumental in uniting warring factions in parts of what is now Norway, Sweden and Denmark - just as the technology is designed to allow collaboration between differing industries such as the computing, mobile phone and automotive markets. The code name stuck. \n\nFrom www.bluetooth.org - full information on link below

Origin of the name and the logo\nThe system is named after a Danish king Harald Blåtand (Harold I of Denmark in English), King of Denmark and Norway from 935 and 936 respectively, to 940 known for his unification of previously warring tribes from Denmark (including Skåne, 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: ᚼ and ᛒ. This is the official story; however, the actual Harald Blåtand that was referred to in naming Bluetooth was most probably the liberal interpretation given to him in The Long Ships by Frans Gunnar Bengtsson, a Swedish best-selling Viking-inspired novel.\n\nThis 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.\n\nThe name was originally only a code-name for the project, but ended up sticking

Bluetooth is a technology that uses radio frequencies and infrared is a type of non visible  radiation that when applied to  computer communications task was called  IrDA.  Both IrDA and Bluetooth have similar technological objectives in providing solutions for wireless short range control and communications with computers, telephones, and other consumer devices.\n\n\nBoth technologies use radiation present in the electromagnetic spectrum at extremely low power levels to maintain their objectives of "short" range communications. The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses the entire range of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation extending in frequency from approximately 1023 hertz to 0 hertz, or in corresponding wavelengths, from 10-13 centimeter to infinity. This spectrum includes all forms of classical non-ionizing radiation we are familiar with including ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared (light) radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.  The spectrum also includes ionizing radiation such as cosmic-ray photons, gamma rays, x-rays. \n\nIt is well known that ionizing radiation such as cosmic-ray photons, gamma rays, x-rays even at low levels can cause damage to living organisms and such damage is bio-accumulative. \n\nThe effects of non-ionizing radiation such as ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared (light) radiation, microwaves, and radio waves also has known affects on living organisms.  For instance it is ultraviolet light from the sun that gives us both sun tans and a hazard from skin cancer.  Non-visible infrared from a fireplace can be comforting when it is cold outside.  We use microwaves to cook all kinds of food. \n\n\nThere appears to be no short term hazards in using  Bluetooth and Cellular phones.  However the question you pose has been the subject of global debate.  \n\nIt may seem obvious  but LONG TERM empirical  studies  of LOW LEVEL exposure to anything requires the passage of real time.       Such studies and experiments run concurrent  with the potential exposure of millions of people that may be using such technologies while they are being studied.    \n\nThe effects of using tobacco is a great example of a consumer product that was widely used, sold, and promoted without having information on the hazards.  Huge litigation settlements in this country suggest that much was known about the hazards of tobacco but this information was concealed from the public.

BlueTooth is a specification for the use of low-power radio communications to wirelessly link phones, computers and other network devices over short distances. The name "Bluetooth" is borrowed from Harald Bluetooth, a king in Denmark more than 1,000 years ago. \nBluetooth technology was designed primarily to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices and peripherals, including cell phones, PDAs, and wireless headsets. Wireless signals transmitted with Bluetooth cover short distances, typically up to 30 feet (10 meters). Bluetooth devices generally communicate at less than 1 Mbps.

This is because it's a different, newer and more sophisticated technology.  3G is an entirely new technology on different frequencies, it's not really the "new" version after 2G.  Compare the two articles below, each is well written on 2G and 3G and discuss some differences between the two.

Bluetooth® is named for Tenth Century Danish king Harald Blåtand, known in English as Harold Bluetooth Gromson, who is reputed to have been so fond of blueberries that his teeth were stained blue. The Bluetooth symbol is a bindrune that combines the runes for Harald Blåtand’s initials — “h” looks like an asterisk.

if you're implying "bluesnarfing"...bluesnarfing is the theft of information from a wireless device using a Bluetooth connection. If you're unsure of what Bluetooth is...Bluetooth is a high-speed but very short-range wireless technology used for transferring data between desktop and mobile computers, PDA's, and other devices like cell phones. A hacker can access information exploiting a vulnerability in the way Bluetooth is implemented on a cell phone, gaining access to things like calendars, contact lists, and e-mail messages without leaving a trace. Hackers are accomplishing this by  taking advantage of a problem with some implementations of the Object Exchange (OBEX) protocol. (this is more commonly used to exchange information between wireless devices). The hacker can synchronize with the victim's device when they are ready to use their Bluetooth device in the "pairing" mode. Kind of "shirt-tailing" and gain access to any information or service available to the original owner. Doing this is highly illegal and not recommended, even for kicks

I agree with you. ANd it's because it was one of the first. People 'love' and use Google because of the name. Instead of saying, "do an internet search" people say, "Google it" everyone knows what you mean. The same with iPods, you buy the name. There are better MP3 players out there that cost a lot less, yet everyone gets an iPod because of the name.

Bluetooth is a radio standard primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range.  It is for personal devices like:  peripherals such as printers, mice and keyboards; headsets for mobile phones and smartphones; etc.\n\nWi-Fi was intended to be used for mobile devices and LANs, but is now often used for Internet access.  It enables a person with a wireless-enabled computer or personal digital assistant (PDA) to connect to the Internet when in proximity of an access point. The geographical region covered by one or several access points is called a hotspot.  \n\nHope this helps!

If you have bluetooth on your computer and the cell phone has also bluetooth you can use some applications to transfer files between the two devices. But both of them must be close to each other.

first of all you have to have bluetooth transmitter installed in your PC usually its a hardware piece you plug it on the usb , with this device there is software and an application will help you transfer your files to your mobile and vice versa , some mobile phones has its own software for transfering those files but usually depend on your PC hardware configration .
