I'll keep my eyes peeled just in case.

I've heard mixed results when using mains instead of USB.

The only source of concern is that for me, I do run a decent motherboard and a big power supply on my main PC. Since the PRS-600 does register at 500mA on the port it could be the fact that a lot of consumer based boards and power supplies are not intended for extended draws of 500mA on a USB port.

I will admit charging using a laptop isn't something I would do and would agree it is to avoid that if possible.

Note: When you mention that, are you using the stock cable or just any USB cable?
