Connecting Keyboard Like Devices via USB or Bluetooth To Mogul

Connecting Keyboard Like Devices via USB or Bluetooth To Mogul
I have searched through the posts here and other forums and have not found a precise or complete answer to these questions. Any help would be appreciated. I'm not an expert.

Does the Mogul have USB host capability through the connector? There seems to be conflicting opinions. If it does what is needed to turn on the capability?

This is the scenario I am trying create without having to rebuild or build new devices. A cost effective solution is the goal.

Assume the data collection devices I want to connect to the Mogul have a standard USB connector and wiring the same as a USB 101 type keyboard ( though the devices are not keyboards ) and the signals coming out of the connector are the same. The data stream is ASCII character stream. The USB devices are self powered so they do not need to draw the 5 volts from the Mogul.

The goal is to connect such a device to the Mogul directly via the USB connector so that it looks like a keyboard OR connect the device to an external Bluetooth transmitter that looks like a Bluetooth keyboard.

The out put will be stored in standard applications such as Windows Mobile Office documents

Off the self product would be preferable to having to black box the project.

It would seem simple considering there are USB bluetooth transmitters at fairly low cost, but I have not been able to find one for this specific application. Hacking and existing bluetooth keyboard might work but it would be a bulky solution, a considerable downside as well as expense for each of the devices.

Thanks in advance
