Itunes for two iphone 4's?

Sister is getting an iphone 4 and I was just wondering if I can set up here iphone on my itunes account or do I have to set up a separate account her her?

What about apps? Will she have to buy the apps or can she copy the ones I've purchased(silly question maybe!)??

Thirdly, is there any shop in dublin city center that sells the zagg shields for iphone 4?

Cheers folks.

You can if you prefer not to mix up your libraries and app purchases use different user accounts, or you can both use the same account and library.

As long as she syncs with your library she won't have a problem syncing your apps.

Maybe i'm better off just creating a new account for here on itunes and maybe populate itunes with the songs etc that she wants.
But what about the apps? Will she have to purchase them herself if I do it this way?

hey me and my boyfriend both shared itunes accounts for are 3gs he used the account on his computer i used it on mine and we could get the same apps (for the price of one) and the apps that he got when i logged in my computer automaticly went to my itunes...it was handy but the main thing is that it was only in one name (you need to have the phone registered with the name and address on the itunes account) so my phone was under his name and address. can be annoying if you have a probelm and want to ring up apple he had to do it! but other then that it was fairly handy and saved a fortune in apps! :-)

hope this makes sense and helps!

iTunes will actually remember individual devices separately, so you would be able to set up different phones on the same account using different names. The only thing that would be common would be the iTunes library that they sync to.

And just say if my sister didn't want to jailbreak iphone 4, what happens to the apps I've on itunes that I got through JB?
