When you get ready to test bluetooth you might be interested in my
SyncmlModule (see http://github.com/Jc2k/conduit/tree/syncml) - it has
a BluetoothFactory object that only shows paired Bluetooth devices and
they appear/disappear from the UI as they are paired/unpaired.

To connect at the beginning and disconnect at the end the best option
would be to connect in refresh() and disconnect in finish().
