I bought an iPhone 4 last week, and have bought a number of apps directly on my phone. Today, my wife decided she wanted an iPhone 4 as well. Is there any way to get the apps I have already paid for onto her phone, or will she have to purchase them again? Thanks in advance for any help!

someone correct me if im wrong but i think you can have the same app store id on more then one device then any device with that same id can install the same apps for free

Just authorize her phone under your account on iTunes and you can share all your paid apps. I do this for all three of my devices IP4 32&16gb and 3GS 32gb
 
I thought that may be the case, but didn't want to click on the price and accidentally pay for it twice. Just tried it, and it worked fine. Thanks!
