[Apple iPod] Re: charging nano

I think what you are asking if you have to convert the electric
current or just the type of plug. My understanding is that the iPod
power adapter's can take a large range of electric currents. In that
case you just need a plug converter for the right type of plug for
the country you are visiting.

My daughter went to Europe over the summer. She was in Germany,
Italy, France, Austria and Switzerland. We just got her a plug
converter. She didn't report any problems. I didn't ask if she had
to charge her 3rd gen iPod Nano but I saw photos of her listening to
it. I suspect she charged it without problems.

Two years ago my wife went took her 2nd gen iPod nano to Thailand.
She did the same thing and had no problems.

Here's a link to the documentation on it:

I think Apple's converter is too expensive. I paid $10 for a plug
converter at Radio Shack. Another consideration with the more
extensive converters is the weight. Don't forget the airlines now
have strict weight limits.

Now, this advice just goes for the iPod. If you have other appliances
you will need to check the specifications for those. You will
probably need an electric current converter. (Sorry, I don't remember
the correct terminology.)

Have fun!
