Hi all-
I know there are several posts about some of things I am about to ask about, but there may be some new things here too:
I am moving to the Czech Republic for 7 months, then Sweden for 5 months. I am bringing the following powered items:
laptops (T42, w/ or w/o a plug-in USB hub, G4 iBook)
n800 and most likely my old 770
dig. camera - w/ the recharger for the batteries
PAL - I know the radio is somehow different in Europe - but I want the speaker...
electric shaver
iPod base with USB wall power adapter
All of these items are able to accept 220V - I think - I actually don't know about the iPod wall adapter... My questions are:
What should I buy to take care of my power needs before I go - or will I be able to work it out when I get there?
Would a plug adapter and a regular US power strip work?
How is the internet service there?
I am not sure if I'll have internet service in my apartment, but I may be able to order it - so - should I buy a portable wireless router before I go - or just wait and see there?
Are there many options for mobile data services there - especially one that will work in both Prague and Uppsala?
Do they all require yr. long contracts?
How are the pay as you go mobile offerings?
Now - I know these are kind of big Qs, and some answers will be preferential, but that's what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance.
