ORIGIN OF BLUETOOTH

Bluetooth is a proprietary open wireless technology
standard for exchanging data over short distances (using
short wavelength radio transmissions) from fixed and
mobile devices, creating personal area networks (PANs)
with high levels of security. Created by telecoms vendor 
Ericsson in 1994,[1] it was originally conceived as a
wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables. It can connect
several devices, overcoming problems of synchronization.
Today Bluetooth is managed by theBluetooth
Special Interest Group.
Name and logo
The word Bluetooth is an anglicised version of the
Scandinavian Blåtand/Blåtann, the epithet of the tenth-century
king Harald I of Denmarkand parts of Norway who united
dissonant Danish tribes into a single kingdom. The implication
is that Bluetooth does the same with communications
protocols, uniting them into one universal standard.[2][3][4]
The Bluetooth logo is a bind rune merging the Younger
Futhark runes   (Hagall) (ᚼ) and   (Bjarkan) (ᛒ), Harald's
initials.
TYPES OF BLUTOOTH
Class Range(approx)

Class 1 ~100 meters

Class 2 ~10 meters

Class 3 ~1 meter
BLUETOOTH DEVICES

Bluetooth exists in many products, such as


the iPod Touch, Lego Mindstorms NXT,
PlayStation 3, PSP Go, telephones, the
Nintendo Wii, and some high definition 
headsets,modems, and watches.[14] The
technology is useful when transferring
information between two or more devices that
are near each other in low-bandwidth
situations. Bluetooth is commonly used to
transfer sound data with telephones 
HEALTH CONCERNS
Bluetooth uses the microwave radio frequency spectrum
in the 2.402 GHz to 2.480 GHz range.[39] Maximum
power output from a Bluetooth radio is 100 mW, 2.5 mW,
and 1 mW for Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 devices
respectively, which puts Class 1 at roughly the same level
as mobile phones, and the other two classes much lower.
[54] Accordingly, Class 2 and Class 3 Bluetooth devices
are considered less of a potential hazard than mobile
phones, and Class 1 may be comparable to that of mobile
phones : the maximum for a Class 1 is 100 mW for
Bluetooth but 250 mW for UMTS W-CDMA, 1 W
for GSM1800/1900 and 2 W for GSM850/900 for
instance.
