Ok, so I'm reading if you have two apple ids you cannot merge them (I have my main apple id that I use for everything except mobileme stuff and my mobileme ID that I got for well, getting mobile me that I mainly use for synching contacts and calendars).

If I sign on iCloud using the mobileme account, I'm guessing that's how I move my calendars and such? How does that affect my app and music purchases with iCloud since those are on a different ID? I'd really like to just use my different ID as my ID but I'd like to port my contacts and calendars over... is there a way to do so?

Or is it no big deal to have my music/apps on a separate ID than the rest of the stuff I'd use iCloud for?

Hopefully this makes sense, it's late and I prolly should go to sleep.

You will use your MobileMe ID for iCLoud and your current apple ID for the App store, everything will be as it is now.

The mobileme site says there is going to be more info on merging when icloud comes out. No word yet on how this is going to go down.
