Hi Angela, Not to sure you will save much to be honest , The charger if it comes with one may work but will obviously be a 2 flat pin type but you will be able to charge it via the USB lead, Last time we looked at electrical stuff in the US it seemed more expensive than here.

Thanks for the reply MilleMiglia, will just have to look into how much they cost here, then compare when i get there.

There is no way that electronics are more expensive in the US than the UK. You are likely to save money on buying an iPod but perhaps not enough to make it worth going out of your way to buy one in the US if you want the lower end iPods.

I checked Curry's vs Walmart, which may or may not be a fair comparison because Walmart is about as cheap as it gets in the US whereas, if memory serves me correctly, Curry's is fairly expensive. However, the iPod Touch 8GB costs 150GBP in Curry's vs 112GBP in Walmart (after currency conversion). Bear in mind, though, that the Curry's price includes VAT whereras the Walmart price will have sales tax added to it (the % varies from state to state). Mind you, I also checked Tesco Direct thinking that Tesco would be about as cheap as it gets in the UK, and the 8GB Touch was the same price as Curry's, so perhaps comparing to Walmart is reasonably fair.

Of course, the more you are prepared to spend the more you are likely to save. The higher end 64GB iPod Touch costs 300GBP at Tesco and Curry's. In Walmart, the same iPod costs about 226GBP. Even allowing for, say, 9% sales tax, you're still looking at saving at least 50 pounds.

MilleMiglia is correct that you will be able to charge the iPod via the USB cable. In fact, I'm not sure iPods even come with plug-in chargers, do they? Either way, you can charge via the USB cable.

I'm not sure there are the big savings to be made on IPods. In July, in Vegas, the 8GB iTouch was $199 including sales tax, which at (say) $1.50 = £1 is £132.66. ASDA Direct offer it for £135.

When we bought out iPod Touch's in Orlando, we worked out that we saved £20....nevermind though, they wern't released here at the time so that was our excuse
And you can use the USB cable to charge it, and i believe Apple sell plugs on their own if you really want one to plug in.

I bought a universal adaptor to recharge my ipod when I was abroad. It works here as well as it has various fittings so it would work with a US style ipod (in reverse so to speak)

hiya guys, i got an ipod in Walmart.( got the lynx 37 bus from universal to Walmart) got a 160gb classic for $260 including tax. which i thought was a pretty good deal.
