Is it possible to assign a friendly name to IOIO boards? #135

Is it possible to assign friendly names to IOIO boards? The issue I am having is that I have several IOIO projects going at the same time in the same lab. The IOIOs appear on the phones as "IOIO (xx:xx)" which is fine if there were only one. But when you have a list of four to pick from, it's hard to decide which one is the right one.

It would be nice if when you manage to connect to the correct board, we can programmatically say this is the "Robot Arm" so that others could easily know.

EDIT: I'm referring to the name the IOIO board tells the Bluetooth device. This issue obviously is only a problem with multiple IOIOs connecting to multiple Android devices over Bluetooth.

Never mind. The confusion is easily handled if the device has a "rename Bluetooth" setting.
