How do I manage 2 iphone 4's on 1 pc?

Had an iphone for a whiel and happily syncing/backing up to the pc, managing music/apps etc under my itunes acc that sort of thing.

My wife is getting an iphone 4 monday and my question is: how do I manage two iphones on 1 pc?

WIll it automatically save a seperate backup for her phone under her name? I assume she needs her own itunes account?

Just a bit confused how it all works etc

You can share iTunes accounts if you like, that way she gets all your apps. And yes it will create a separate backup.

Weird time to buy an iPhone 4 though with a new one probably out in a few weeks!

Really, can share everything? Seems too easy and unlike apple?

what about making another account on your pc for your wife then she can have her iphone under her account and you can have your iphone on your account.

Another account in windows or another account in itunes?

I was until early last year when we both dumped our iPhones for Android. It might be different now.

I believe schizo's way is the 'proper' way, they expect you to have two seperate accounts on your PC, which is ridiculous for a general use family PC.

Yeah I really don't want to setup two seperate accounts on the pc.

As long as I can connect both to the same pc, and it'll create seperate backups I'm fine.

Anyone know a good guide for cutting the wife's sim down or can recommend a good sim cutter?
