Nominal residential voltage is 120/240 volts. Not sure from you description if the plug is just rated at 230 volts or is supplying 230 volts (It is likely that the plug may be rated at 230 volts, but only operating at 120 volts). A typical hand held hair dryer would operate on 120 volts. A commercial hair dryer might operate at 220 volts, but must be plugged into a 220 supply.
Use a step-up transformer from 110 volts to 220 volts. Try getting one at Home Depot or SEARS.
No. It would have to be wired for 220 volts and would have to be rated for 220 volts and would have a different configuration so that a typical 120 v plug wouldn't fit the outlet.
They usually operate at 220 to 240 volts with a 30 amp breaker. So the answer is yes.
You need a 110 v to 220 v transformer, which will be inexpensive for supplying an alarm clock. That steps up the 110 v suppy into 220 v for the clock.

Dubai uses 220 VAC at 50 Hz (in the USA, we use 120 VAC at 60 Hz). They also use the G type plug.

No, in North America the plug configuration will not allow that to happen. The blade configuration for 120 volts are in parallel where as the 220 volt configuration are in tandem.
The local current is 220 volts and ground connection is made by a 2 pin plug.
It depends in which country the equipment was purchased. If the country's voltage is 220 volts then it is most likely the supply needed for the PS3 is 220 volts. Check the nameplate on the device to see what the manufacturer recommends and stay at that voltage.
Yes, but doubling the voltage on any piece of equipment is a sure way of destroying that equipment.
Different plugs are designed so that you can't plug an appliance into the wrong voltage. A dryer is usually 220-240 Volts and your standard outlet is 110-120 Volts. You can't do what you suggest.
