?????? Pre iPhone Purchase Question ??????

[boxsata]

I WILL have and iPhone, I have wanted one since its induction in San Franciso. I do have a question though - My home computer is an iMac running the newest OS from Apple. My work computer is a Sony VAIO laptop (brand New) running Vista. My work computer has all my contacts and any info that I will want on the iPhone. The Vista is a pain and I still can't get the iTunes to log into the iTunes store. My iMac runs flawlessly, still does for a 4 year old computer. This is the computer I put all of my media (iTunes downloads and pictures/movies) Can the iPhone be sync'd with 2 computers? Can I make it only sync only the info I want on either computer or is this impossible??

If anyone has any ideas or the same problem let me know!

Also, any help on the iTunes not getting online from my Vista Laptop, here is the link:

Vista/iTunes compatibility issue is on-going. And since this is a work computer, I assume you are limited as far as administrator access and all that?

Can always download your contacts into a thumb-drive, bring it home..... I know, not exactly elegant but hey...

iPods can, but u have to do some "dancing around." Advanced PC/Mac skills desirable.

To initially get your contacts on your Mac, how about exporting all your contacts as vCards, copying them to a USB stick then transferring them onto your Mac's Address book?

That doesn't solve your problem of needing them synced up all the time. I've not been able to sync only portions of data up to my iPhone using two Macs, so you may need some intermediary solution for your dual OS situation.
