Bluetooth development chips

Hello all,

I have recently acquired a bluetooth development kit (TDK's blue2i +
USB adaptor). I have successfully connected the serial ports and
transferred and received the data at 9600 baud. I want to use the
serial module in customized hardware. But the serial unit is very
expensive (around 92 pounds). What alternative chips do I have at my
disposal which will provide me with a serial - bluetooth interface? My
only requirement is a bridge between uart (well, only RX/TX) and
bluetooth protocol.

Since I plan to interface the chip with a microcontroller, I do not
need a RS232 level converter of that sort either.

So which chips would allow me a bluetooth - I2C or SPI or Serial or USB
for that matter interface? If I want to remove the serial interface
also and just go for a simple command received via bluetooth, how can I
do that with a micro-controller present in my circuit?

Any feedback much appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Mak
