Will the usb port on the front charge mobile devices?

I bought this recently and can confirm that it charges both the iPhone and the Android phone we tested with it. It seemed like it wasn't that fast of a charge, but I've always thought that about car chargers as well.

Yes, as long as it has a micro USB connection, it should charge any device.

No. It has a AC adapter. The USB port is just for chairing phones or other USB devices.

Yes it will, the port on mine no longer works but this charges it just fine.

Yes, with two USB cords you can charge both devices. I personally wouldn't expect to get to 100% charge for both, though.

So long as you have your own USB charging cable, this should charge just about anything you want via USB. Just be sure to pick the USB outlet with the proper voltage for your device.

No, there's no USB port on the back. You'd have to convert the dock connector inside to whatever USB type you have.

The USB hub itself is a powered device and connects to an outlet. It will charge anything as long as it is powered to an outlet.

I have charged it from several different usb ports. So to answer the question yes.

Not really. It only charge USB devices iPad, phones etc. Computer needs much higher voltage.

It only charges through the power adapter provided. The USB port is data only & does not support the power functionality of USB.

Yes, there is a USB port on the device which will supply ample power to usb devices. I am using the 12 volt output to power a small Amateur Radio. (Approximately 2amps through the 12v output) The 5v USB out should handle everything, even tablets.

Yes USB uses 5V 1A. To Charge tablets, iPad, etc., sometimes make sure that the output is 5V 2.1 amp, higher the amperage, better charging time.

Actually there are such things as dc-dc converters in devices.I have 5v mini/micro usb portable charger that uses a single 1.5v battery.So it can be done.I've also read that the xoom has a menu setting that allows charging via the usb lead.Also Mr Partridge needs to learn that mA means milli-amps. So usb 2 can deliver 0.5A or 500mA.Most phones try to suck out 0.8A (800mA) yes, that is why some USB ports can't charge a device as the phone makers are breaking the usb2 spec. USB3 now has a limit of 0.9A thankfully.

No it does not have a front USB port. It does have USB connection via a cable that attaches to the back of the reciever.

It will charge anything that uses a cord with a USB connector. I charged my wife's Notebook 2, my galaxy inspire and my digital camera, It is really useful and worth every penny!

No, but you can use most of AC charger that has USB. I am using AC charger for tablet.
