First off let me say that I am in the process of ordering a BeagleBone 
Black and that this will be my very first SBC.  :)

I was looking at USB hubs and came across the HooToo HT-UH003 7-Port Hub (
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0J2-0020-00004). This USB 
hub contains one port dedicated to charging devices (no data) with the 
following power specs:

   - Charging Port = 5V/2A
   - Power supply = 5V/4A
      - center positive
   
I plan on cutting off the end of a USB cable & soldering a power plug onto 
it in order to power the BBB's DC jack via the USB charging port. I see no 
reason why this won't work but I wanted an experts opinion before placing 
my order.

And as an added bonus I should be able to use the USB hub's power adapter 
directly on the BBB for times when I don't require extra USB ports.
