I couldn't have said it better myself!
You can't charge an ipad via USB - not enough power. You have to use the mains adapter which comes with it. I had to ask about this too. Wonder why apple don't explain this somewhere on the box/documentation.
U can't use yr notebook USB to charge n after syncing it need to hv direct power ?
It will charge very slowly, if the port is a fully powered port, as in not in a hub. Even if you get the "Not charging" message. But it's so slow it's hardly worth trying.
Page 34 of the User Guide:
The best way to charge the iPad battery is to connect iPad to a
power outlet using the included Dock Connector to USB Cable and 10W USB power
adapter. When you connect iPad to a USB 2.0 port on a Mac with the Dock Connector
to USB Cable, iPad may charge slowly while syncing.
Important: The iPad battery may drain instead of charge if iPad is connected to a PC,
to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, to a USB hub, or to the
USB port on a keyboard.
If your Mac or PC doesn’t provide enough power to charge iPad, a Not Charging
message appears in the status bar. To charge iPad, disconnect it from your computer
and connect it to a power outlet using the included Dock Connector to USB Cable and
10W USB Power Adapter.
