We don't know whether the other Bluetooth tablets that appear will use
the same protocol. New devices wouldn't work as tablets, and they
wouldn't work as mice either, because we blacklisted them.

Yes, that's really what should happen, but until somebody actually does
the job, it's unlikely to happen. It's not that big a problem right now,
as the Bluetooth and USB devices don't share a protocol.
