Yeah i truly understand all that...
Btw, "Don't forget to add in a power adaptor for whatever country your in"
Whats the voltage for the power adapters supplied with the iPods sold in UK?
btw, lots talking about buying it online, how can the payment be made (assuming i'm a foreigner) and approximately how long will it take for delivery in UK and will there be extra charges (example shipping)? My sis lives in UK so buying online isn't that much a problem but i was thinking since my parents are going for shopping around the area, might as well buy it there.
EDIT: i just checked the Apple Store Online, whats this £139.00
(£118.30 ex VAT). Whats the ex VAT?
Ok, I am really confused. First, where do you live? Why would you have it shipped to the UK if you don't live there? Why not just have it shipped to your home address and buy it from your country's Apple online store so you get the right taxes, free delivery, right power adaptor and best shipping time? You can pay with a credit card, and you can get a virtual credit card number from PayPal and transfer money there from a bank account if you don't have a CC.
VAT = Value Added Tax. I'm not in the UK, so I'm not up on the details, but it's a tax on most (all?) consumer goods of about 16%, I think. Like I said, I'm a Yank, I don't know about these goofy UK taxes.
Also, if your parents bring an iPod back into whatever country you are from, there is a chance they will have to pay an import tax to your home country as well. You'd have to check on that yourself, though, based on your country's laws.
I'm not sure what the voltage that the UK uses, but I forgot that the nano doesn't have an AC adaptor, just a USB cable to charge and sync that way, so it's not a concern.
