Is it possible to do Asyncstreams serial over wifi instead of bluetooth?

Reason I ask is there are a couple WiFi modules, WiFly being one of them, that allow the serial interface of microcontrollers to send/receive data over a WiFi network.

The modules can be configured to either make connections, or to listen on a specific port for a socket connection. once established, Serial data can be sent/received across that socket connection.

is it possible to connect to these modules through android and send/receive serial data like you can on bluetooth?

The main reason I want to do this, is alot of cheaper tablets dont have bluetooth for one.. but another thing, it is known that some phones/tablets have bugs in the SPP implementation.
