Just checked apple.com

iPod mini, iPod, iPod photo
Power adapter


6-pin FireWire connector

AC input: 100V to 240V at 0.4 amp maximum

Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz

DC output: 12V at 1 amp maximum



All the iPod AC Adapter are still universal, the same for iBook, PowerBook and PowerMac G5.

The iMac and eMac need a step down converter.

Okay, just to let everyone know, an i-pod Mini or mini or whatever the Heck they're called now did indeed make its way from the US to me (thanks, Mum! :lol: ) and is now charging from the wall socket with no sign yet of magic smoke or fizzing outlets.

Its a bit of a kludge though - I had a spare figure-8 power cable and the set-up somehow is extremely inelegant compared to just plugging it into the wall directly... :lol:

Edit: oops - thanks everyone! :oops:
