If you're getting a 3G version they're unlocked to any particular carrier so should be fine, although I've yet to hear anything about Australian telco's plans for providing plans or MicroSIMs The power adaptors work on 240V according to Google so you should be ok, although you may need a different plug. http://www.macintouch.com/reviews/ipad/faq.html Choose your iTunes store wisely though if you're going to switch countries I'm not sure if you can transfer the DRM'd content/Apps etc. You can bring up to AU$900 worth of goods into the country duty free if you're over 18, so bear that in mind if you're buying the 64Gb 3G model at US$829 it may mean you can't bring much else back without paying GST :) http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page4728.asp Have fun, Shay -- =========================== Shay Telfer =============================== Perth, Western Australia Technomancer The love of liberty is the love Opinions for hire [POQ] of others; the love of power is http://newtonslore.com/ fnord the love of ourselves - Hazlitt -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]>
