Outside my iPad, or was it inside?

The iPad only charges at normal speed when it is connected to the wall charger it came with. The iPad charges supplies 10W(5V, 2A), where as the laptop USB slot only supply ~0.5A, so charging the iPad via laptop can be really slow.

Well.
Here is something free of charge that does the same thing.
Install the "Asus Ai Charger" Application.
Works great.

When the iPad says "Not Charging" when plugged into a PC/Mac it actually is.

interesting app !
+1 for a great post !
but what about some usb chargers? then you would need to use that lil device. i prefer the device because i just take it and go and then i plug it in with no worries. but to each their own.

Go to some iPad battery app and then it claims it's charging. When the iPad says "Not Charging" it is for me at least when connected to a USB 1.1 port. One time I left the iPad plugged into a laptop when it says "Not Charging" and later the battery percent went up after I disconnected it.

Yes it is ~ but very very slow. It is best to plug into the wall outlet and go to bed.:D

Excellent post. I installed and voila charging and quickly. OS that Asus MoBo puircahse was not a total waste.
