Right, so the iPhone comes with the USB power adaptor thing, which has two parts:

1) The actual power adaptor, with the figure of 8 connector on one side & the USB port on the other.

2) UK plug adaptor to connect to the figure of 8 on the USB thing.


The main USB bit says it works with 100-240V & 50-60Hz, but the UK plug bit says only 250V & 50Hz.

So, I assume I can't simply whack a travel adaptor on the UK plug part, to make it a US plug?

As the USB adaptor bit itself is universal, can you buy a US plug for it on its own? Or do you have to spend ££££ buying the Apple travel kit which seems to come with every kind of plug imaginable?
Yes your assumption is correct. Or you can get a US 2 pin (prong really) plug to figure of 8 cable and plug that into the iPod adapter in place of the UK plug bit.
