I read a review about the Griffin PowerBlock AC charger in which the customer stated they could charge their camera via this usb charger. However, the PowerBlock is intended for i-pod charging.
Also, has anyone noticed a difference between the generic AC Adapter Kits and name brand? Do these AC adapter Kits actually recharge the batteries when plugged into the camera?

No it’s not possible.
The USB port usually allows only 200-250 milliamps of power, which is about 1/10 the amount of a single AA-rechargeable battery. It would take forever to recharge a digital camera that way because it consumes so much power (WAY more than an iPod). That’s why companies don’t even bother with something like that for digital cameras.
not this one
