Yes, I've used both a phone charger and plugged into a laptop. So long as you are using the microUSB on the raspbiboy and not charging while playing you will be fine.

Yeah I'm using a 5v 1a as well and have no issues charging.

It mostly sounds good to me apart from one thing. I quite like the indicator LEDs as they are now so you have a gauge of how much battery you ...
