Right.

Do you really need the whole Internet? Or just a little piece of it? If the latter, how about bringing your own little Internet in with you?

In other words (and as dellagd wrote), use a wired Ethernet connection to your own server. It works great for us.

For what it is worth: Bluetooth is a communications technology, like Ethernet or CB Radio. One doesn't really write "apps" for it, unless you are intending to implement parts of the ISO 7-layer OSI model. Any "app" should be able to use whatever data pipe is available.
