I've been wondering the same thing. I remember like 2-3 years ago when i had the iPhone 3G it charged while in iTunes, so why doesn't the iPad?

I see there are two threads going with this same question. I don't know if the moderators merge these threads. Short answer, computers don't generate enough power and wall charging is necessary.
"Not Charging" .....hmmmmm....???

Because the iPad has a much higher capacity battery it requires a more powerful charger. Even though it says it's not charging on the USB port it really is but VERY slowly. It is highly recommended that you only use the Apple provided wall charger for the iPad.
