News! Bluetooth is named after King Harald Bluetooth!

Your sniffer tracks Bluetooth closely, and especially with this week's Seattle session under way, where the future of Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) will probably be laid down on the map. So an official Bluetooth press release caught the eye. Clearly, a severe shock to the industry!

What was the shock? Heck, you have to admire their raw courage, printing this stuff. Read it  yourself.

Shock, horror! - "Today’s electronic devices connect and communicate with one another in different ways by means of cables and wires, radio signals, and infrared. A newly introduced method of connecting devices and peripherals and making them communicate seamlessly with each other is called Bluetooth. A Bluetooth connection is wireless and automatic thereby simplifying and streamlining the connection and communication process between Bluetooth-enabled devices."

Outrageous! How do they expect to get away with this controversial stuff?
