Actually it was confirmed.

The reason being USB does provide enough power i.e. the pad would charge too slow (slower than its rate of consumption?)

I rememeber reading it for sure, but I'm too tired to look it up :p

If that is indeed the case the only solution is to buy a power extension cable and place it at your feet or on the sofa next to you. Just don't spill your beer on it if it is not splash proof.

Genius me.
