T,
This sounds like an interesting idea hardware-wise. If I am envisioning it correctly, it would offer a user the option of using the USB output as a serial terminal for uploading sketches and also for monitoring output.
(* ALSO *)
It would allow the user who might already own a $300+ tablet that has bluetooth to add the USB > Bluetooth adapter such as you linked to, in order to run an advanced user interface.
I don't think we want the requirement of owning a $300 tablet to be a barrier to being able to build, program, run and modify a General Purpose Controller.
I think we want to keep our target audience as large as possible.
There must be a way that opting for the bluetooth/tablet interface could be easily accomplished, with regard to including the required code and libraries, etc.
One question, if you do have tthe bluetooth dongle installed, can you also easily revert to USB/keyboard + monitor if you wish to?
Best,
