    There are aftermarket chargers from people like Belkin that are about half the price of the OEM charger.

    I plan to buy a second 10W charger, but until then am carrying stock charger back n forth daily.
    All my PC's are windows so no higher juice available there...

I suspect you have a low voltage USB card as the ipad requires 10v. I also assume iPad connects ok and syncs
    I went to the this site as soon as I bought my Ipad,I have a charger at home plus one in my travel pack. They are very cheap and they work fine. Not $30.OO,
