Also: does anybody have any idea what kind of current these ports will charge at? Is it the bare minimum 500mA or will it charge things a bit faster?
it's the typical A port charging, put it this way I was able to fully charge my phone with around 4000mAh in a 10 hour flight. If you want anything faster you need to bring your own power plug to plug it under the seat - so you can bring your fast phone charger.
I'd say in my experience it's every other seat that works (in multiple airlines even with their new A350).
