ASUS has released a software utility that allows for iPad charging directly through the USB Port. Obviously it was designed for ASUS motherboards themselves. While the utility does work on other motherboards there are multiple reports from many users that it causes the Blue Screen of Death as well and once that occurs it is a bit difficult to remove.
