Marta, Since you mentioned Palm Pilots...Could one use the iPod for calendar and address book like a PDA? It would make sense. My daughter says her boyfriend's iPod has an address book feature. I worry about her keeping track of all the needed numbers and addresses and info needed for traveling. (My 16 year old only child daughter first time traveling alone! I am a fretting mom.)Anyway, it would help me justify the cost of the iPod if I could think of it that way as well. I am glad to know the electronics now do the voltage conversion. That is what was in the back of my mind. I could just imagine frying the thing with twice as much juice! Thanks, Ann
