I have a few of the Belkin. Doesn't charge my wife's 1st gen iPad...
If it's powered on while jacked into the Belkin USB port, the iPad will give you an alert that it's not charging. Put it to sleep and it will charge -- albeit slowly.
The Belkin kicks out standard USB power, which trickle-charges iPads. New Macs and the iPad USB charger can kick out twice the power to charge an iPad more quickly.
