It isnt documented anywhere that it does charge the unit when you are connected to a computer but most of these type of devices do.
If you have any experiacne with this or any documented proof that it does charge I would appreciate it
Just took mine out of the box and went ahead and connected it to my PC with a USB cable - and it's charging. Strange that they don't mention that it can be charged this way in the manual - at least not in the Quick Start manual that comes in the box.

The Best Black Friday Deals
...
20.05.12
PITTSBURGH -- Electronics are a big seller on Black Friday. You'll find some great deals on TVs, laptops, cameras, GPS and gaming systems, along with good deals on movies, small appliances, toys and clothing. So let's start with retail giant Wal-Mart, where the bargains begin at 10 p.m. Thanksgiving night on toys, games and movies. At midnight, electronics go on sale. I found some great deals on TVs in a variety of sizes and prices. On the low end, is a 32-inch Emerson model for $188. On the high end, is a 51-inch Samsung for $498. I found a Compac laptop for $198 and a Kodak digital camera for $49, along with select Blu-ray movies for $5. Target's Doorbusters begin at midnight. Target has an Acer Netbook for $175, a Tom Tom navigation system for $89, an X-Box 360 console for $139 and a 32-inch Samsung TV for $277. At Kmart the Doorbusters run from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. Customers typically line up three to four hours in advance.
