Hank, Gosh, a lot of responses, yet, none that comment on this fact that Apple have conveyed since the release of the iPad1, I should just add, that this is certainly not the case with the iPad3, and I believe even the iPad2. I have owned all three, but, cannot recall with the iPad2, but, do remember it certainly being an issue with iPad1.
iPad1 will charge from a computer USB port, but, slower than from a mains outlet. The iPad1 when connected to USB will charge, however, only if it is either switched off or in standby mode, if you unlock the iPad1 to use it, then the charging cycle is interrupted. So, if you plug it into charge from your computer USB port, you will note that it begins to charge, however, if you unlock it, to check battery status on the device itself, you will note that it states battery level only, and not that it is charging. This is because by unlocking it, you have interrupted the charging cycle. This is what Apple themselves told me during several conversations about this issue.
