I just wanted everyone to know that the price for the World Adapter kit is misleading. Amazon lists it at $59.99, but Apple lists it at $39.00. Even on sale for $39.88, you do not save the $20.11 that Amazon claims. (These prices are as of 20 Oct 2005, but I paid $39.00 for my kit two years ago at an Apple Store.)

If you can't make it an Apple store, Apple often runs free shipping deals. Also, they offer 10-15% discounts for schools (read: students and teachers) and gov't employees.

On the plus side, this product works great. I've been able to charge my iPod in numerous countries with no problems. (And yes, you must already own a power adapter... duh.)

having a set of plugs that fit perfectly and as designed is worth every penny. I travel with my iPod and PowerBook and really like having real plugs.

If you travel across diferent countries with your MAC or Ipod you will need them.
They are very usefull and they fit exactly in the same way as the original "TIP" of the power connector. The same color and shape..... the same good quality of all Apple products.
Just take out the original one and replace it with the desired one....and you're ready to go.

I bought the plug package made by Apple for my Mac computer. It is very cleverly made to fit well on the current adaptor and an excellent travel accessory. I only wish that it were priced more reasonably in a package for each area of the world rather than a package for plugs used in many different countries, for a price to equal that package. As I am traveling only in Western continental Europe, I do not need several of the other plugs included, which seems an unecessary expense as well as being wasteful and makes for items I don't need.

Worked like a charm all over England. I haven't tried the other adaptors, but I found my MacBook to work just like it does here in the US, and there was no difficulty plugging into the outlets.

since I am in Kuwait, I needed this kit and found it really helpful. its good thing to have all type of tools ready for your mac to go.

I traveled to London for several weeks, and was concerned about charging my laptop from all the mixed reviews I read online. The adapter worked great, and I didn't need a power converter. Granted, it is more expensive than other adapters, but for me I loved the ease of not having to worry if anything would happen to my computer.

Get it if you need it. If you travel you need this, what else do you plan to do. It's effecient and unless you have another way of chaerging your i pod i definatly reccomand this. Actually there is nothing else you can buy, this is the only set of adapters for your i pod.

WARNING = Be sure you have an i pod carger or these won't work!

Why does everyone rave about this? One of the reviews even says, "If you need this then get it." Yeah, if you're travelling you need this, but more importantly why can't Apple just sell the different adapaters individually? Apple must assume that a lot of people have more than one of their products - perhaps a macbook and an ipod, so wouldn't it make more sense to sell the adapters individually, that way one could buy for example two European adapaters, one for ipod and one for macbook? Another apple rip-off if you ask me.

When travelling I seek to minimise the weight and number of items I bring. Technology is one good place where gains on this front can be made. This product bundle is a complete joke. Why so many pieces? Why bring all of that excess stuff? If the answer is "just take the ones you will need for a given trip" then why not just buy some cheapo country/ region specific solution? If you are serious about travel with your electronics (not just Apple) check out this: Kensington 33117 International All-in-One Travel Plug Adapter. It has covered me in Asia, Australia, and Europe and there is only one piece to deal with.
