I don't have an ipad yet and considering purchasing one. There are things that bug me about apple and a big one is proprietary ports. I've read to get a usb port you can use the camera connection adapter, but can this be used to charge the ipad itself when plugged into a computer with the adapter?

I might stay at friends out of the city from time to time, and it's annoying to know I will need to bring (or buy a second) adapter to charge the device.
