I have an itouch currently with several paid apps on it. I'll be getting the new iphone when its released.

As I will be using the same itunes account, I can download the apps again? and have 2 copies running on my phone and touch?, do I have to delete the touch apps in order to activate them on the phone?

secondly, If i give my touch to my sister, and she uses it on her computer with her itunes account, will the apps be deleted?.

thanks. :)
 
Apple doesn't care how many devices you install an app on, what matters is account stuff. If you buy a game, then send it to her computer so she can put it on her iphone and her iphone is linked to a different account, it won't work. As far as I know, there is no way to transfer a paid app between iTunes accounts, I've been trying to find a way myself.
