Useless side question: is there actually any way to change the PIN on a 
Brailliant to something other than 1234? Are there any other bluetooth 
displays out there, and do they allow changing the PIN?

'cause otherwise, it's not a big secret :-) and we can set it without 
asking the user.

Another vaguely related observation: the security implications of putting 
the PIN on a file are more or less comparable to securing the API key.
