   Your own words above definitely do *not* mention Bluetooth *at all*.   
   It seems it is *you* who can't read (or more correctly, *write*).

   That's not what he meant by "that". If you think you are fooling anyone   
   here by conveniently snipping out what he actually said, you're a fool.   
   Here's what you dishonestly snipped in order to play dumb - with   
   emphasis added to the bit you either don't understand or flat-out   
   *ignored*, probably in order to roll a really lame troll:

   >>> launch an app at all.   
      
   Go ahead and troll some more. It's transparent to anyone with a   
   functioning brain.
