He was not saying that you should charge the N800 via its USB port
but rather that you can use a USB charger, i.e. a cable that has
USB on one end and a power adapter plug on the other end to plug
into the standard power port of the N800. With such a cable, you
can charge the device with anything that provides USB power, such
as a computer, wall or car adapters, battery packs, etc. I
personally use Proporta's USB mobile device charger which is
basically a battery with USB output to charge my N800.
