I just got an iPAD (YEA!) and found to my dismay that I can only charge it from the wall adapter (unless ofcourse you have a MAC.... and I dont). I found this product purely by chance on a blackberry forum and found that it can charge an iPAD from any PC USB port. Sure enough it charges my iPAD from my Acer computer and the cable included with the iPAD does not.Other additional goodies about this product is that it charges even when the Acer PC is in standby saving me the trouble of having the PC on (saves me $$ in electricity which is always good). It also charges my sons iPOD faster than the Apple cable does.
Throw into the mix that it can charge my blackberry 9700 and my Nokia E72 and we have a winner.
This seems like such a no-brainer product but it seems to be a first in the market. Love it!

Product Description:
The CSQUID (Apple+micro) is the world's first Universal USB data cable and standby charger (Patent pending) that is able to connect a USB port to the next generation micro-USB connectors (like Blackberry, Nokia, Google, Kindle, HTC and Samsung) or to Apple products (iPAD, iPOD and iPhone). The included micro-to-mini USB adapter also supports current generation devices (like Blackberry Bold 900, cameras and GPS units). The CSQUID comes with 2 operational settings - 'Green Chg' and 'Sync Chg' - that are set with a sliding switch. In the 'Green Chg' mode, cutting-edge technology enables the portable device to be charged even when the PC is in STANDBY, thereby eliminating the inconvenience of having to wake your PC just to charge your device. Standard USB cables supplied by the portable device manufacturers require the PC to be turned ON in order for charging to be initiated. The 'Green Chg' mode also eliminates the need for synchronization phone software otherwise required to charge your devices. This frees the road warrior to use any PC without fear of resetting either his device or the host unit settings. In the 'Sync Chg' mode, the CSQUID acts like the manufacturer's cable, allowing the PC to both charge and synchronize data with the host PC when it is ON. The CSQUID multiple connectors and combination of 'Sync Chg' and 'Green Chg' eliminates the need for all other cables.Some devices do not allow charging via the USB port if the battery is completely depleted - the CSQUID will charge even depleted cells without the use of a wall power adapter.
