Laura, the USB problem, least for me, isn't really a problem. I don't have a Windows PC at home, I use Ubuntu. I have experienced twice an apparent USB issue where the download of files on to the PP appears to halt (I have not had any data integrity errors or anything). Despite it happening as I said twice, the transfer of files did continue without intervention (keeping in mind on those two occasions I did have all of my USB ports being used on my laptop, so might have been a power problem from my end). Yet every other time I have plugged my PP in via USB it has just worked flawlessly.
Being in Australia (like you) the only *issue* for lack of a better word for me was the supplied USB power adapter was US styled pins. I had to decide whether to buy an adapter to convert the pins to AUS standard, or buy an AUS styled USB power adapter. If you don't want to do either the PP can be charged from the USB port on your computer (I bought a USB power adapter as I like to get away from my laptop and pack it up for a few days and get away from it). All I know is I can't recommend the PP enough - it is in my view a brilliant device.
