I ordered some stuff from
DealExtreme to play with. An
Ethernet Shield and a very
tiny bluetooth transceiver module. It's going to be a challenge to solder something to it :)

| Ethernet Shield and Bluetooth module |
It's the cheaper version of the network shield, so no TCP/IP stack included on any chip, just an Ethernet over SPI chip (the
ENC28J60), but still an easy to use chip over
SPI from the
Arduino. And of course there
exists a library for it so using it is very easy and there is nice example code available, I made a quick test just to check that the shield works using the DHCP example.
The bluetooth module should be extremely easy to use, after somehow soldering some wires to the tiny thing. I'll let you know how it goes.
