Can the Wii U GamePad be charged via USB? Nintendo won't tell

The Wii U GamePad can be charged via its own AC adapter. This much we know. Is it possible that there are other ways to charge the controller, such as through a USB connection? Here's what a Nintendo rep had to say.

"The GamePad can also be charged using the charging cradle, which comes with the Deluxe Set."

Yes, we already knew that as well. How about USB...can the GamePad be charged only through USB?

"We don't have any information to share at this time."

Well, seeing as how we're just a bit over 40 days from the system's launch, when exactly are we going to find this stuff out?!
