The return of Harald Bluetooth

Re: The return of Harald Bluetooth

As I am just messing with Bluetooth for a set of wireless head phones,I had wondered at the symbol.(also wondered at the weird names they give android OS's,like strawberry shortcake or something)

Like this.

Android 1.6. Donut.
Android 2.1. Eclair.
Android 2.2. Froyo.
Android 2.3. Gingerbread.
Android 3.0. Honeycomb.
Android 4.0. Ice Cream Sandwich.
Android 4.1. Jelly Bean.
Android 4.4. KitKat.

It said named after something sweet,but WHY SWEET?

That's really cool. I remember kinda wondering about that symbol when I first saw it.

And the name, "Bluetooth," that I figured was just another cutsie tech word with no real meaning.

Yeah, I remember that was brought up in an episode of QI.
