Plugged an 120V iPod dock into an Irish socket: Busted?

    I picked up a speaker dock for my Ipod in Boston. Guy in the store assured me it would work in Ireland/UK and even sold me an adapter for the plug (2 pin to three pin) shape, so I took his word for it.

    Just plugged it in and it won't work. The display lit up initially for about 5 second and then died.

    On closer inspection I noticed the back has a sticker saying 120V - 60Hz, 16 W.

    Have I just fried the inside by plugging it in and wrecked it in the process?

    Or is it worth my while buying a Voltage converter? I don't want to waste more money on a converter if it is not going to work.

    Thoughts would be appreciated.
