Given that this thread is on android programming, a bluetooth headset adapter
isn't going to help provide serial access.  Sure it's bluetooth, and yes the
serial connection is in the headset/mic port, but bluetooth devices typically
only implement a small number of "profiles" (intended uses).

If you wanted a bluetooth serial interface, a board like this should do the trick.
It at least works to program an Arduino.  I have one but I haven't gotten around
to wiring it up to any of my radios.
