The reason for the banning of the Bluetooth devices is Boeing's discovery that they could interfere with certain series Honeywell displays. It can cause blanking of the display for up to 6 minutes according to the Boeing bulletin. Not all displays are affected, only some for the 737 it seems, and not all of those, just a particular model. Hence, no Bluetooth until some sort of fix is in place.
