And if I'm not mistaken -- please tell me if I am mistaken! -- it could also work as an AC charger instead of getting a second Nokia AC adapter; and it could work as a car charger. (This all assumes that one of those adapters fits the Tablets power input socket, which I think is likely.) Do you think it would hurt the Tablet to charge with one of these? Any other downside?
In theory, yes it will work. The 2mm nokia jack is standard for nokia phones hence why its in such packages. However the Ca-100 cable contains some circuitry to regulate the voltage up to 6.5V (USB is 5) so ther emight be an issue with using another cable. I myself is waiting for a cable with a strap form china, not a ca-100 cable, if it works it should mean that one will work too

edit: some charger pron fo rthe people:
