can the k10 be charging and shoot at the same time?

I don't have the ac adaptor so for those who do, is it possible to shoot at the same time it is charging?
I was thinking that my cell phone back up battery might have an adaptor to fit in the ac slot...

thanks

Sadly the Pentax AC adapters I have (for both the k100ds and k10/k20) clearly indicate that they do not charge the batteries only allow operation of the camera. With the AC adapter, you can use the camera without the battery, you are just tethered.

No idea on the cell phone deal.
