Imagine what that thing will look like with a gigantic UK plug adapter ;)

Moreover, the North American ungrounded plug is one of the easiest plugs in the world to pull out of a socket. So if I plug Dart into a adapter for any other part of the world, plug the adapter into a socket, and then try to pull it back out, Dart will separate from the adapter and leave the adapter in the socket. It happens all the time when American electronics are used abroad, and it's extremely annoying.


Gee. So they will just add a plug adapter? They won't actually make a Dart with an E-plug? That sort of ruins the thing for me, particularly considering a plug adapter plus a power adapter in a wall outlet is asking for all sorts of trouble.

I've barely had success with plugs that weren't this heavy.
