i got mine yesterday and I used a USB extension cord with it. It works perfect. definitely charges faster than USBFor those who got them..... can someone try using a USB extension with it to confirm it charges OK and at the same rate?

The POGO input might be different but through the micro-USB port, monitoring the charging current with Battery Monitor Widget, using a USB extension cable the current dropped by a good 400ma.i got mine yesterday and I used a USB extension cord with it.

It is under 15'/16', the only one that Micro Center had. It seems that it was asked because they have run into the same issue while using the micr-USB port.USB 5v spec calls for a maximum length of 16 feet.
As you approach this limit, the issue of voltage drop due to improper/insufficient wire gauge comes into play and your drop in voltage will be reflected in a lower charging rate. This is normal if your cable gets too long - one of many reasons manufacturers will always recommend you only charge your device with provided cables. The lower your voltages, the more easily affected vdroop is. 5v is pretty damn low for 10+ feet...
Long story short: your cable should be under ~15 feet or so to avoid issues. If you get voltage drop before then - you've either got a low quality cable or your extension needs to have a bigger wire...
Its also possible the POGO charger allows for higher amperage/current to flow into the tablet offsetting the voltage drop caused by the micro USB setup ... MicroUSB is limited to a max of 2.5A... I can see the POGO charger easily allowing more if the source you're taping into can provide it (I have a 3.1A charger)
When did you order, eBay or their website, and where are you located?
TIA.
Are you using this site: http://www.track-trace.com/post or something else? I get nothing at all!Ordered January 7th from pogocable.com, just checked on track-trace and noticed that when checking with options, usps status changed to 'Arrival at Unit' as of yesterday afternoon. I should be getting mine today! Only a 15 day turnaround from when I placed my order... not bad. I also have a charging cable extension that I ordered from amazon (amazon basics brand 10ft) I'll post results from Battery monitor widget when I get some spare time.

Oh thanks, mine is already in Spain, from Korea to Spain in less than 7 days, amazing, I ordered it from webpage on saturday I think. It says in transit, guess i'll receive it tomorrow.Yeah I'm going to track-trace, selecting post/ems, then putting in the tracking number "RRxxxxxxxxxxxKR", then selecting track shipment with options. In the top tab where it says 'select country,' I select United States (USPS) and it opens a new mini window that shows me USPS info with that tracking #.
You got it really fast !
Where are you located?
How fast is the chargeing
Thanks!!!,
