Fw: [OT] iPad query...

When connected to your PC/MAC via USB, it does start trickle charging
when
the screen blanks


Given that Apple in all its radiant glory have seen fit to bestow the
wonderful iPad with the ability to suck juice when charging at a rate
higher than any "standard" USB port can supply (and yet seem to
have
managed to make their non-standard requirement not look bad on themselves)
then I end up with the following conundrum.

1) If I plug my iPad into my Windows PC to sync it I can't charge it.
2) If I plug my iPad into my beloved Naim DAC to use Spotify or play music
from its iTunes library I can't charge it.
3) If I plug the PSU into my iPad to charge it I can't sync it.

Has anyone seen an iPad dock that allows USB data to be passed through
(for syncing) at the same time as allowing the PSU to be connected for
charging?

Seems such a massive need but I can't find such a thing. :-(
