I'm not sure if it will because I know for a fact that the USB AC adapter that ships with the iPad 2 does not work with the Samsung USB cable for charging (well, it kinda does, but its that slow trickle charge). I figure that the means that both companies use to get the extra juice flowing over the USB cable are different somehow.

It is. You can get a charging adapter off of DealExtreme, or make one yourself (read the "make your own cables" thread in Accessories, and look at the Universal Charging schematic)

I have a cigarette lighter USB adapter that kicks out 1500 mAhs, and it's enough to charge the Tab 10.1. Since this thing has more than that on tap, it's a fairly safe bet that it will be able to charge it as well.

thanks for the info guys. I did order charging adapter cable from dealextreme. I'm going to order this external battery pack and see. Should i get the 5000mAh or the 11000mAh?
