They need to concentrate on things like conflict-free diamonds. I bought one for the wife, but she still picks fights.

No, 5V is just fine. USB is the question mark. The "spec" isn't enough to charge something like an iPad in a reasonable amount of time. Even a cell phone is really pushing it at a half amp.
It's not an "implementation of a handshake" at all. The decision about how to charge is made by sensing resistors on the device. If they're not there, the normal USB handshake goes on. Of course, USB limits the charge to .5A. Some *chargers* don't like the load up to that point.
It's done all the time but only if this is a requirement of the charger. MicroChip has some interesting solutions for this.

Next time buy a bigger one. ;)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
Bigger wife?

Married to the same woman for just shy of 54 years and liking it. Pick someone you _like_, and make sure you like her mother as well >:-} ...Jim Thompson
