i pods

[leec1]

apologies if this has been asked before or sounds stupid, are i pods brought from the states able to work here, im referring to the the charge cradle, if you use an adapter??

[ViclovesMGM]

Hmm Im not sure, you could always buy the ipod over there, and then buy the plug charger for it here, as I imagine the thing at the bottom (not sure what its called, where the usb, charger, attatches to the ipod) would be universal?

[springer]

Yes. They only come with a USB cable these days anyway (no charger) so you'd have to pick up a cradle/mains charger here anyway (if you want one) I bought an iPod in Boston earlier this year which works a treat. Picked up a mains charger for when I'm away from the PC from ebay for £2.99.

yes,
we have a 60GB iPOD which we bought in Florida Mall.
We also bought from the Apple shop a multi voltage kit, with detachable plug ends.
I also as has been said, use the USB cable as well but get the multi voltage cahrger it takes less time to recharge.

yes I bought a 2 GB one from walmart last year for $145 and it works fine, just charge it off my pc, asked DH about it at the time and it's because Pc's are dual voltage or something?;)

Voltage nothing to do with it. US-bought iPods work perfectly over here in every respect. Can be charged direct from the UK mains supply.

What are the prices like?

Just a little tip.
We bought one at Walmart because they can be returned/ refunded at Asda when you are in the UK.

Just been in there tonight, 12cent cheaper than Apple shop in Florida mall, it seems that apple control prices as much in florida as they do in the UK. But saying that with tax at todays exchange rates this is £105.50, which is a good saving on the uk price.

I was going to get a 30 gig one at $249, but I was just looking at a coupon booklet I got from the florida mall which has a $10 off $50 or more spend (The Sharper Image), so I will try using that tommorow. Which should mean £127.30 which makes about £52 saving
