As long as your charger is dual or "wide range" voltage, there should be no issue or concern with frying anything. And you won't need a separate transformer. These dual or "wide range" voltage charges are transformers.
Aha... got it. Laptop and camera chargers say 110-240, so looks lke I'm fine on that front. I remember the iPod working in Pakistan and that's 220, so I should be fine with that as well. Thanks for your help!
