European USB ports

This might seem like a silly question. Will USB devices here in North America work the same if they're used on computers in Europe? I was just wondering because I know they use 220V over there. I didn't know if that would affect anything or not.

I'm going to Italy and I may want to transfer some pictures from my digital camera to the computer to email or transfer then to some USB drives.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

USB is the same no matter where you go.

Hence, "Universal Serial Bus."

There's nowhere I can't reach.

And if that werent enough proof for you, the pendrive/usb type mp3 player I recieved from relatives living in the USA worked perfectly fine in my European machine.

I don't think computer hardware has any differences regarding voltages to begin with, you can just take a computer from the usa, change the power unit to a 220 one and it'll work fine in Europe.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Exactly. As long as the computer starts up, everything that connects to it will have the proper voltage. If it didn't USB would be a very incorrect title.
