Dual Charging

[XA-R01]

Hi guys,

I have an odd question, but I need an answer, specially from one who knows about electronics behaviour. Ok, here is my case:

I'm in a hurry, have to recharge my device fast. Charging using the charger are more faster than using USB-to-PC cable. But while I'm charging, I also need to access my files. Unfortunately, the device only have 1 USB port. What to do? I bought a HTC Y-Cable that provides me with 2 USB port. Now the question is, if I connect my charger to USB Port #1 and my USB-to-PC cable to USB Port #2, does that mean I'm double charging? And if I am double charging, does that mean the charging duration will be shortened (faster charging)?

i'd say yes
normal usb only provide 500mA where the normal ac chager give much more
and recharge faster
so a miniUSB to 2 normal usb connected to a pc would mean both usb connect and fast charge
unless the pc would get confused that it had 2 pda's connected or something

but i doubt it i have a external usb hd which only works with usb only as in without other ac input if it have 1 of those
2 to 1 usb cables and that works
even if i dont use it personly because firewire give me enough power for only 1 connection
