I tried my hair dryer I bought in the U.S. in Europe, but it wasn't a good idea ;) The other way it will be only slow, and dries the hair after ages...
I think, power adapters work with both voltage, and mobile devices will be charged only slower with 110V.

Which 220V devices do you know that will be damaged by connecting via a laptop power cable to 110V? I don't know of any. Cheers, P

Could you collect a lot of power cables with US sockets, so that all of us foreigners can use them instead of complicated adapter plugs ?
I’m not sure if this would be a good idea, because the US/Canada use a 110V-system while Europe uses 230V. While many notebooks can stomach both, lots of other devices can not. So it could be fatal to just switch the powercord of a device.
