If you ended up buying an iPad on launch day last Friday – and we know there’s a fair few of you – chances are you went home and thought that you might be able to charge your iPad from your desktop or notebook.
You quickly found out you were wrong as the USB port on your computer just didn’t supply enough of a charge for your delightful new gadget.
