Actually one is positive, one negative, and one ground. But you are right...
The problem being that to physically plug it into a sokcet you need the larger ground pin, as it releases the shutters, which prevent idiots and children pokeing things into the live bits :-) |

It seems like the charger is one of those "slide in the plug of choice" types, they might send you the right plug (when I bought a battery charger from US they sent European), or you might be able to acquire the right one, so you don't have an extra bulky plug (with adapter and all).
Ok, went to check... if it's a standard type of slide-in plug, I have a UK version right here, which I can send you by post, if you end up needing it. |

The UK is great on those type of security measures, like the typical light switch/cord in bathrooms. Clever guys!

Actually I have an old palm charger like that. I was just thinking that if they are similar designs, the 3pin bit may well fit the iLiad charger.
As I said though a europlug to UK adaptors are only 4 quid. as long as the charger itself works for 240v I'm happy. |

Actually they are now leaning away from lightcords in the bathrooms. Which means that you have to have a switch outside the room.

Ok, the offer's still open, although I'll have to see the charger to make sure it actually works, lol, but the plug is just sitting here unused (we got our Blackberrys at work with a full collection of plugs).

Pity, I love those cords and the click-click they do.

the "slde-on" mechanism look pretty standard and works very well, you might very wellb e able to use your plug or buy one that fits and just slide it on...

Is it nasty tasting to goats?
One of the things I'd like to do is chill in the bottom field in the sun and read. I can't do that with my Origami because conventional LCDs and sunlight just don't mix, of course. And if I take paper media down there, the goats try and eat them. |
