So I thought this was would be an easy thing to find... but apparently not. I can't seem to find a hub that can actually charge an iPad while providing a data connection. It seems the only hubs I can find have one or two ports that charge 2.1A (enough for an iPad) but they're for charging only, no USB data connection.
USB 3.0 would be preferred over USB 2.0, as I'd like to use the hub with other USB 3.0 devices... but if it comes down to it I'd take a USB 2.0 hub over nothing.
Unfortunately my PC doesn't provide 2.1A on the USB ports, so plugging in directly isn't an option.
Thanks for any suggestions you guys can give me. I feel stupid even asking because I thought this would be an easy product to find... but it's really not. I've looked on Newegg, Amazon, Monoprice... no dice.
