Does this function while plugged in for USB charging?

Yes and no the alarm clock portion of the clock seems to work when plugged into the USB but the camera does not work while it is plugged into the USB. If it did it would be a super amazing device there would be no time limit on its ability to record.

I do not think it will charge while it is in use, but I am not sure. I charged it for the first time as directed (2 or 3 hours). The USB thingy is plugged in while in use so I am not sure if it charges at the same time. After 2 weeks I have never run out of charge.

Yes it does...I have mine plugged into the same surge my computer is on and just flip the on/off toggle when I need to use it.

Yes it will work while plugged in. But the battery lasts long while charged.

No. In fact if you plug it in to charge while on, it will shut them off to charge.

It will work while charging, by holding down the MODE button while applying power. See my review for full instructions.

Never tried that - but it runs while plugged in to an electrical outlet, so I don't see why it wouldn't run while charging from your laptop.

Good question, dont remember if it actually does. I pretty much use it via USB power.

No, it plugs DIRECTLY into a wall socket. Connecting plugs are at the back of the above photo; they fold into the charging unit when not in use.

Yes it does... located on the end (illuminated red rocker switch) "Unsolicited"... This is one handy unit... wall plugs and USB charging ports attached to your desk or table... I have purchased four.

Yes, that's what it is supposed to do, but I have not used it yet. I just got it and charged it. I bought it because it has a regular plug rather than just a USB port.

Yes. Then plug in the USB cable. There is a port with a cover over it. When the switch stops blinking, the light is charged.

I know it works while it's plugged into our laptop...so I'm assuming it's also charging. I know it doesn't take long to charge.

Yes, it plugs into a regular AC socket. The USB function is to charge or power a USB device.

No it doesn't. But when your phone is plugged in it doesn't stop charging till it's unplugged.

Yes you can use it while charging, but it can only be charged via USB cord.

As far as I know, it only works while plugged in. At least that's how mine works.
