I'm traveling to Europe soon. Will I need some kind of transformer or adaptor to charge my Axim? I'm going to Spain specificly. Also,what about on the plane?

Thanks,
Rory...

Can't speak to the plane. Not all aircraft have charging circuits available, and most that do only have outlets in the Business or First Class cabins.

As for the mains power, the Dell power supply is rated for 100-240v, 50-60 hertz, so all you need is a plug adapter and it should just plug in directly. I used my charger in England just fine.

Are you renting a car? It might be possible to use a car power adapter and charge it in the car. I don't much about Euro cars though, so it might be a different plug. But, if you can do it this way, at least you can use the lighter adapter in the States.

I used the plug adapter and had no problems. Of course I had my converter to run other componets.

Buy a worldwide plug adaptor kit and you'll be good pretty much anywhere you go. And a great thing about 220-240 volts; things charge much faster!
