doesn't the barcode port of the m100 have a 5 volt pin?

Subject: [M100] Wifi232 Arrived (how can I power it?) Okay, my wifi232 adapter
arrived today.
it's a lot smaller than I expect. It seems smaller than my BlueM, but is
probably about the same size. I'll do a comparison later. I'm really
excited about trying to get on the internet with it.
It also has a built-in web server, so I'm excited about messing with
that, too.
It has a mini-USB plug for power.
Paul Rickards says it requires 5v at a minimum of 100mA.
What I'm wanting to know is if it's possible to connect it to a cell
phone battery backup device?
The kind they sell at Walmart for $10. I've several of them sitting around.
One of my battery backups says that it outputs 5v 2.1A.
I even have a battery adapter that takes 4 AA cells and connects via USB
(but I have no idea what voltage/amperage it uses, and I don't have a
multimeter anymore). I've used it to recharge my cell phone before.
If I have to plug the Wifi232 into the wall or into a PC, it kind of
ruins the portability factor.
cool trivia: Paul Rickards' business card is included in the box, and it
looks like an old-fashioned punch card.
