newbie: how to connect wireless for programming, loading, etc.

Thanks Gordon! The HC-05/06 sounds like an ideal solution. I have lots of experience developing Android apps, and my "vision" was to be able to control directly from my phone. This will work quite well. On my way to order a module...

I haven't done any BT development, however, so I'm new to all the code "help" available to do things like transfer data, etc. Is there a stack/library/layer available that simplified IPC across BT in a robust way? I'd rather not create my own protocol to run over a serial BT connection to reliably transfer data, messages, etc.
