iPod touch Connecting iPod Touch to Mac and PC

Hi all -- I just bought a 2G iPod Touch and will be connecting it with iTunes on my MacBook. I assume that doing this will format the Touch with a Mac-only format. Now, in the next six months or so I met be getting (I hate to say this 🙂) a Windows PC (it's a long story), and if that happens I'll probably want to connect my Touch to Windows as well.

Will I be able to do this? I assume it will require re-formatting/restoring the Touch, is that correct? If I connect the Touch to Windows, will the Windows version of iTunes at least be able to recognize it so I can re-format it?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the replies. I was so used to the old hard-drive iPods that I just assumed there'd be different formats for the flash-based ones. 🙂 Good to know there's no issue.

you can only sync with one library on one computer. So if you start using a PC, it will delete what's already there and sync with the PC.

With my previous iPod, I didn't have it sync with iTunes (I prefer to manually move music from my computer to the iPod), and I'll probably set up the new Touch the same way, so I should be okay there, right? In other words, turning off syncing on my MacBook and then turning off syncing on a PC would allow me to use the Touch with multiple computers?

What about something like photos, though? I seem to recall that the only way to get photos onto an iPod was to use the sync method. Am I right about that?
