I'd say that the way to do this is to just use HAL.

Upstart gets the events from HAL telling it that the PDA has been
connected, and further events tell the running program that another PDA
has been connected.

Note that currently Upstart would stop the program when the first PDA
was removed, not the second -- that's something we'd need to address.
