If you get a specific cable (which I don't have), you can use one of the USB ports as a USB device (rather than as a USB host). Annoyingly I have had a poke around inside the system and it seems to come with an almost complete Bluetooth stack... the only thing it is missing is the appropriate Linux module so it knows what to do when I plug in my USB Bluetooth dongle! I'm thinking I might have a crack at cross-compiling it at some point.
