Hmm...I'm not sure if it's charging or not, but I've had it hooked up
and running for two days and it currently reports 100% battery which
is good enough for me.  ;-)

The problem with reverse tethering is you still need a cable.  In my
case, it would need to be a USB Micro (on the tablet) to USB Mini (on
the BBB), which I've never seen.  For me, paying a few bucks for one
(or you can get them for less than $1 if you shop around) is more than
worth the reduced hassle of just plugging in a cable and having it work!
