We have a couple of the Belkin power strips with three USB power ports.
One is where we plug in our phones:  One Samsung, one Kindle and an iPod
charge off of it.  The other is in our bedroom and charges an iPhone and
baby monitor -- when we plug in the iPad is does not charge unless the
screen is shut-off...the iPad charger must support higher amperage.  I'd
check the amperage of the outlet you are looking at and compare it to the
items you want to charge via USB.
