Yes, it won't charge that fast, but it will fully power itself from the
USB connection AND charge the battery... it means 200-300mA gets to the
battery.  You get the best charging performance from the external
charger which I am pretty sure is part of the package.... that can
provide 1A of which > ~700mA goes to the battery.
