Nokia

Nokia was established in 1865 as a wood-pulp mill by Fredrik Idestam on the banks of the Tammerkoski rapids in the town of Tampere, in south-western Finland. The company was later relocated to the town of Nokia by the Nokianvirta river, which had better resources for hydropower production.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth was initially just a codename for the technology, and was taken from the nickname of Harald Blåtand who was the King of Denmark between 940 and 985 AD. The rumor was that the Danish king was given the nickname Bluetooth because he was so fond of blueberries that his teeth were stained blue. The founders of the Bluetooth SIG felt that the name was appropriate because Harald Bluetooth and the technology are both of Scandinavian origin.
