Can the N9 be used to charge other devices by drawing power from its USB port?

yes, here's a quick how-to:
- turn on your N9
- open the browser
- go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011TILJ2Y
- order the item
- wait for 1 or to days
- connect your new charger to your iphone
- done

And in addition to that, Apple is notorious for their non-standard USB charging protocol, where the iCharger should set the D+/D- data pins to specific voltages to tell the iDevice at what rate it can draw current.
Without that, it probably limits at max ~500mA which would mean a loooong recharge time.
