It is actually not a charger but a software. Although it is from Asus, it seems that it supports other motherboards for this charging purpose.<\/p>\n<p>In its website, it states<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>With the exclusive ASUS Ai Charger, all of your  motherboards, and desktops become universal chargers for your iPod,  iPhone and now, the new iPad. Ai Charger turns any PC into a flexible  power-up station for popular Apple devices through a simple USB  connector, extending their usability and benefit in every lifestyle.  Charging goes up to 50% faster and  smoother while you do your work or have fun \u2013 whether at home or on the  go. The Ai Charger software is available for a variety of chipsets and  motherboards from ASUS as well as all desktops, so just click downlaod now and prepare for even more enjoyment!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, I give it a try. And yes, it changes the &#8220;not charging&#8221; sign on the battery indicator to a charging sign with percentage. And yes, it charges my iPad. However, I cannot say that it charges 50% faster or not as I have not tested it enough.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, I have been charging my iPad with the USB 2.0 port without any issue (even though with the &#8220;NOT Charging&#8221; sign). With this software, I can say that it helps me to know how much percentage of battery I have on my iPad while charging.<\/p>\n<p>If you wish, do try it at your own risk as I have seen some comments that it hanged up the computer.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/event.asus.com\/mb\/2010\/ai_charger\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Download Asus Ai Charger<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>Follow me on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/joeteh\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/techielobang\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n[ad#boxlist]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have plug in an iPad to a computer&#8217;s USB 2.0 port, you might notice that it is &#8220;not&#8221; charging (as stated on the display).
