communication between desktop (OSX/PC) and android

i'm thinking about an application that communicates between a tablet and a PC. the PC would send arrays of URLs to the tablet; the tablet would load the URLs into a slideshow. a selection made on the tablet would then send a string back to the PC, which would filter its display based on that selection. there would be multiple tablets, each running the same software, associated with one PC.
so, in short: simple string communication between PC and devices.
how do i go about this? software-wise, are there libraries to accomplish this? example code? i'm really not even sure where to start. network-wise, would the devices just sit on the same LAN and communicate via UDP? hardware-wise, would this be a USB thing? bluetooth? wireless network?
any clues, links, snippets welcome. thanks!
