If you take a look at the iPad
specifications you'll see that it only explicitly states that PDF files are supported as email attachments. There is no other mention anywhere:

One more - it does not charge while connected to the computer. You must use the small supplied charger.

This is a hot topic right now. You need to check into this further. It has to do with the available power output on particular devices. At this time it's been determined that powered hubs don't seem to have enough output to power the device and charge at the same time. The same applies to many USB ports on computers, iPhone accessories and adapters.
Keep in mind that the stock iPad adapter charges at 10 watts. An iPhone charger is 5 watts.
It has been determined that the iPad will begin charging once you sleep it but running from various USB ports and iPhone accessories won't get you a charge while using it.
In the end, it has been determined that the USB key is whether the port is USB 1.1 or 2.0. 1.1 ports will not charge it while using it.
Here's a small post on it:
