Yes, despite what most people are saying, the entire "Outlets to Go" line of power strips WILL work internationally with a 220/240V connection. I found several people who had emailed Monster on the subject and I myself did the same. Remember that the electronic device you connect to it needs to be able to handle the voltage as well. The USB port has a converter built into it already to convert down to 5V DC, so it will work overseas as well. [....]
Update 4-25-2012:
I am aware the unit only SAYS 125v printed on it. I've received replies saying the unit won't work on 220V because the unit "says so". that is not true. The unit does not say it WON'T work on 220v, it only states that it WILL work on 125v. Normally that would "imply" that 220v is not compatible, but as I said before, I spoke with Moster Cable and they told me it will work on 220v. I have successfully tested this on many trips to Europe and the Middle East. It does works despite what the text printed on the unit says.
And for final proof, from the FAQ section on the Monster Cable website:
Can I use my Outlets To Go in a 220 / 240 volt country?
Yes your Outlets To Go will function with the appropriate plug adapter. Make sure that any devices you will be using can also work in multi voltage applications. If not, a converter will be necessary.

If you bring gadgets with you when you travel, this is incredibly handy. It's fairly compact and very easy to pack - and very useful in hotels where you often don't have enough outlets for your laptop, cell phone charger, and other gadgets. Since it's on a cord, it helps when the hotel wall outlet is in an awkward place, like behind the night stand next to the bed. Since so many phones and other gadgets nowadays can charge from a USB port, you are no longer a slave to $30 proprietary chargers. I use mine at home, as well, and will probably get a second one.
I also bought a similar product made by Belkin, which has 2 USB outlets (the Monster only has one). But the Belkin's USB outlets put out less power and people have had trouble when they try to charge two USB devices at the same time. Plus, the Belkin unit is larger and heavier than you'd think, so it's slightly less travel-friendly. And it plugs directly into the wall rather than being on a short cord, which isn't as helpful when your hotel room's outlet is in an inconvenient place.
Another related item you might consider is the Scosche Dual USB Car Charger, a jack that goes into your car's cigarette lighter outlet and has TWO usb ports for simultaneously charging two devices. Scosche Dual USB Car Charger

PROS: Cheap, convenient, includes USB charging port (which can charge my iPad)
CONS: USB power output rating on package doesn't match rating on device
I got this power strip for under $10 and the price keeps dropping. This is an extremely convenient device for so little money--just about everyone lugs around multiple electronic devices these days and has a portable media player, phone, tablet, etc. that can charge over USB. This strip takes care of all of that, and although it's a little long (roughly 7") the cord wraps neatly over the device so it doesn't take up much extra room. And since it's quite thin (less than 2"), it's easy to slip into a backpack or carry-on and take it with you whenever you travel.
When I first received the power strip, I was pleasantly surprised to read on the package that the USB port is capable of putting out 1.5A, which is TRIPLE the current a standard USB port on a computer or devices like the Belkin Mini Surge Protector Dual USB Charger can produce. However, upon inspecting the device itself, I noticed that the USB output is rated at 500mA. This inconsistency bugged me enough to email Monster and ask them which spec was correct, and I was told 500mA. When I emailed back to ask why the package had the rating incorrect, I received no response. If anybody has any inkling, please leave a comment!
Contrary to several other reviewers, I can charge my iPad through the USB port with the sync cable. It doesn't charge as quickly as the stock wall charger, but the iPad shows that it's charging. It's definitely faster than using a computer USB port--I'd say it takes about five to six hours. Since the iPad has a 25 watt-hour battery, this equals about 4W, which means the USB port is actually putting out about 800mA.
In summary, this is a very handy device for travel or to have on hand anytime you need more plugs than the nearest wall has to offer.
UPDATE: I charged my iPad today through the USB port and used my Kill-a-Watt to monitor the power consumption. It reported a charging power of 6W throughout the process, which would indicate a charging current of about 1.2A (6W / 5V). However, since the iPad itself charged at about 15% per hour, the USB port itself couldn't have been putting out more than 4W. I assume this means that the power strip is not very efficient, especially compared to the stock iPad charger, which draws 10W from the wall and is capable of charging the iPad in about 2 1/2 hours.
