Apple iPad Fails to Recharge on some PC's - SOLVED

Harrowing experience with my new iPad when I first got it home, I discovered as countless others have, that it would NOT recharge properly from my nearly new Dell Studio XPS 9000 i7 Desktop nor my HP Laptop.  After a LOT of hunting on the web,  I came across a post touting a free piece of software made by ASUS called AICharger, which is on the ASUS website, and best of all, appears to work just fine on NON-ASUS PCs and NON-ASUS motherboards.

Give it a try for yourself by clicking here.

 After completing the installation, my iPad recharges just fine simply by plugging into the USB port on any computer that I have installed the ASUS AI_Charger utility on.  A godsend, as plugging the very short AC/USB combo cord into the wall socket is just plain annoying and not convenient.  This also works with my iPhone as well.

Asus claims that this product has the added benefit of reducing recharging times, but I cannot vouch for that claim.  I have to say this though, THANK YOU ASUS!  And a heavy suggestion to my friends at Apple - why not license the code from ASUS so your drivers for the iPad will interoperate with Windows PCs with USB 2.0 ports?  The salesman at Best Buy swore up and down that all my problems would disappear if I simply purchased a powered USB HUB.  My experience was this suggestion DOES NOT WORK.  The ONLY thing that solved it was this little software utility.
