I want some sort of connection between my computer and the phone. I COULD
get internet conectivity from the phone and use that to connect to my
computer, but I'd rather be able to have them talk to each other directly
with some sort of TCP/IP. Basically, I'd like to write some software that
turns my phone into a remote control for some software I've written on my
desktop.

I am right that bluetooth can do this sort of thing, right?
