Hi all,

My sister bought an iphone recently. I have some cool apps (paid) that I would love to have her to have too. Is it possible to plug in her iphone to my itunes and computer and sync the apps over too?

Can I sync my mp3s to her iphone too? Would doing all these affect my iphone or itunes in any way?

Will her contacts be merged into my Windows address book and screw up the contacts in my iphone the next time i sync it?

Is there a windows version of ical? It's frustrating because the Vista doesn't come with outlook anymore.

Yes, once your sister plugs in her new iPhone to your iTunes, she will get all the applications you bought on her iPhone.

Syncing your mp3 files (i.e. not bought from iTunes Music Store) with her iPhone will be no problem, either. That will not affect your iTunes or iPhone, as far as I can tell.

An iPhone can only be associated with one iTunes at a time, so if your sister has her own iTunes, she can't sync to yours. There have been people who have transferred apps to other iTunes and authorized that computer with their account information to share apps, though. Not sure how you do this, though (move apps).
