Well, made several IT "moves" at home this weekend...

Finally bought an iPad 2 for my wife, the white one . She was debating, long time, between Kindle 3 vs iPad, but after a short getaway we had, she just felt for the iPad when saw battery life, Magazines, etc. A happy wife now!

Anyway, I sold my current Asus netbook, Kindle DXG and Galaxy Tab and bought a Mac Air instead that we will share for light desktop usage and iTunes sync for our iPads (will keep it or buy a netbook PC depending of performance and learning curve, lol )

My question is, what is the best way to sync the two iPads with that only netbook? I don't want to mix iTunes accounts and keep our stuff separate. We also one to keep one user for logins. I'm proficient on Linux and Windows, but this is my 1st Mac, and I'm kind of lost ...

Regarding the Kindle, I think we will be using one account only, mine, but I am open to suggestions or comments from others with similar situation.

Thanks in advance,
