Are there similar outlets on the A321 behind the mid-cabin lavs? I'm flying PHX-PHL next week, and am in the A-window behind that lav. I recently picked up a netbook computer, so may try your trick, if I don't get upgraded (I may just be better off in coach anyway).
I'm assuming this is a 2-pronged outlet?
It had three prongs. There were two outlets, not far above the floor. In case a FA might object to using the outlets, you could easily block the outlets with a bag, but then you'd have to find a way to hide the power cord that runs to your computer. I suppose you could lay a blanket over the cord -- but blankets are hard to find in coach these days.
I doubt the A321's have the outlet behind the mid-cabin lavs because I would have noticed such an option.
