I can indeed verify that this works. I picked up the right tip from Radio Shack and wired it into a USB connector. I did this to charge a PSP as well as the PRS-505 via a solar battery I've got that charges via a standard USB port.

It certainly charges MUCH faster than just the USB data cable alone -- I have no idea how fast it would charge via an AC outlet as I've only charged via solar or a USB data connection.

Anyway -- PSP tip to a 5v source (such as USB) does indeed work. Quite nicely as well!
