I'm not sure it is a matter of it not carrying full power. Isn't the power spec for a USB port 500ma? That is .5A. What does a PPC with backlight on, playing MP3s at full blast and tryng to charge a 10% battery draw? There is probably a reason the chargers are rated about 2A.

I think it is more that some laptop manufacturers are giving more than required.
