Gray, what do you mean by 'plugs'?
Earphones or the earphone sockets?
I probably won't be using the Apple earphones anyway.
I can't stand in-ear headphones (comfort and performance) and I already have a good pair that I'd rather use.
+ I don't particularly want to advertise to any unsavoury sorts that I'm carrying an ipod around.
Mik, do you know if the Japanese models are the same 'plugs' as the US models or the European models?
Also, what exactly is the score regarding gifts?
As long as it's a single item (i.e. unlikely to be for further retail), do customs really have a leg to stand on?
