I hated that I can't charge the Galaxy Tab 10.1 with computer USB port. Found out it was the polarity difference causing the problem. I got this cable and adapter and they work with Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9. Now I can just use my computer USB to charge. One less AC adapter to bring on trip! The cable is retractable making it even better for traveling.
