That feature list sounds a lot like a sensorTAG from TI. http://www.ti.com/ww/en/wireless_connectivity/sensortag/index.shtml I just ordered and received a few, they look like a useful tool. The entire RF core and brain is implemented in one chip - their bluetooth chip has an embedded 8051 processor, with source available. Unfortunately there is only one compiler choice, IAR, which gives a 30 day fill eval but costs thousands of dollars for a true license. In that 30 days, you can code whatever extra features you want in the sensorTAG for your application.
