That's correct. They are autosensing devices.

The gods are torturing me.

I wanna go to Ireland, Scotland, and Germany sooooooooooooo bad (in that order.) I'm planning on attending graduate school in Europe so I can visit regularly. 2 years. *drool*

The TREO I don't know about; the iPod is multi-voltage and auto-sensing, so you just need an adapter plug.
