I have 2 questions.
does my cigaratte lighter plug for the sl5500 work with the c1000>?
How many volts is the us house hold>? I know...stupid question!
My zaurus c1000 came with a ea-72
it is ac 100v 50/60hz 11va dc5.0v 1.0a
can it work with usa household power? i just want to make sure before i take the splurge and plug it in.
usa is 120 or 240? and japan is 100 so will it work england is 240. i think i screwed up ordering that other item made for the england 240 but ...let me know.

Uh...you might wanna research that some more. I was warned against prolonged use of the 100v rated Japanese power supply in the US
And as far as I know US standard voltage is 120v with 220v for appliances.

I know many of my J-friends here in the US have these odd boxy converter units that they plug their homegrown devices into. When asked why such is necessary they have all said if they plug stuff in the wall directly it will usually work for a while but will keep popping open the circuit breakers.
I ain't tryin' to rain on your parade, and I'm not saying it won't work just fine over time, but anything from the Z family is just too nice a piece of kit to fry up for no good reason.
IE, it's worth getting confirmed by more than one source...
That said I just bought the international power supply on Amazon.com for $37 shipped...
Best wishes...

This has been discussed several times. The conclusion was:
1. EA-72 can work in the US. (I personally used it).
2. To be safe, buy the EA-70S supply on amazon (it's on sale now).
3. There have been anecdotal evidence that prolonged use of EA-72 (probably because of spikes over 110) could lead to problems, although the jury is still out whether this was the real cause.

we also have huge supplys of the ea-70s adapters if you have a hard time finding them.

yeah dont bother with amazon. get it from streamline. prices are about the same probably 4-10 dollars difference in either direction. at least you know streamline is reliable.
I'm already working towards a c-3100 but i got this c1000 just to get familiar with it. maybee a c-3200 sooner or later? ahh wifi and bluetooth built in i hope.
One more thing...i need a 2gb sd card especially from simpletech. 4gb compact flash from them as soon as they come out!!! 8)
