OK, so I am probably an idiot, but...

I was looking at the actual USB 3.0 connection yesterday and noticed that the large side of the plug looked a lot like a regular USB micro plug. So I tried to insert a micro usb and voila, it worked. The tablet was off at the time and the little battery picture charge indicator popped up. I didn't leave it plugged in because I had a USB 3.0 cable with me, but... Is it OK to use a standard USB micro cable with the Tablet and, if so, what limitations does that cable offer? Is the connection just slower, or non-existent? Would the micro connection act as a data connection? Any information would be great.

Cheers,
