Hi guys, I have the iPod USB Adapter for Apple. It is rated 100-240v. My question is, will I be fine charging my PSP with it using the USB connection? I tried plugging it in and the PSP seems to be charging fine.

LMK, thanks!

It aint the INPUT voltage that is important, it's the OUTPUT voltage.
If it is USB, then presumably both conform to the 5V USB standard. But Adaptor swapping is risky business.

I hear ya, I am worried since appliances/electronic devices can fry instantly. Since both are USB and I'm using a North American Power Outlet (110v), I'm fine here. I'm just worried when I go to the UK...

Also, will charging work if I use my iPod cable to charge my iPod through a computer's USB port in Europe? (They use 230v input).
