Bluetooth is definately an option to pass information between a PC and the RN-1 although not for the actual downloading of code. The RN-1 has a serial port on the controller board that a number of threads detail how to connect both the Hitec module and (my personal favorite) the BlueSmirf unit.
I currently have my RN-1 using bluetooth to communicate with a tablet PC program as a replacement for the IR remote and am very pleased with the way it is working.
As always though there is a restriction, the serial port implementation in Robobasic limits the transmittions to a single byte and it can only recieve a single byte per recieve operation. However you could still use some cleaver bit shifting or define your own simple packet protocol to get more inofrmation passing between the two units.
Hope this helps
