If you have not yet upgraded to 5.1.1, don't. There is code in the upgrade which causes charging issues. Chargers and USB cables which worked perfectly prior to applying the update stop being able to charge the device. This problem appears to be widespread, just google "Charging is not supported with this accessory" and you will get 350,000 hits.
For my own experience, my daughter has an iPod Touch, and my wife has an iPad (original). Both were upgraded to 5.1.1, and now neither will charge. I have 2 different chargers, and 4 USB cables. Plugging either device into my laptop (Win7), my desktop (Win7), or the wall via the chargers all come up with the same error. All cables and chargers worked before the iOS upgrade. My niece has a Belkin charger, am going to try that next.
Do yourself a favour, stay away from 5.1.1.
