Yes, but as soon as you turn off the screen it will start charging.

yeah i plug mine into my monitor to sync and if I leave it there the screen will eventually turn off and when I go back to it later it has taken some charge...it's just not as fast as the wall outlet.

Quick update:

Wall charger 1% per minute
Updated USB port 1% every 5 minutes (4.8)

So the wall charger is still MUCH faster. Not sure this update is worth the trouble.

AND UPDATED AGAIN!


Quick update:

-- Wall charger 1% per minute
-- Updated USB port 1% every 5 minutes (4.8)
-- Old USB port (verified NOT CHARGING then verified screen off a few minutes later) 1% every 15 minutes

So the wall charger is still MUCH faster. Not sure this update is worth the trouble.
