New Surface Dock - USB Port Powered Up When No Surface is Connected?

[loyukfai]

Provided that the dock is powered, do the USB ports on the dock supply power when no Surface device is connected? That the ports can be used to charge other devices like smartphones and/or tablets?

Thanks in advance.

Yup. It's just a powered usb hub.
