DH has an iphone (1st version) and I just got an ipad (2). He doesn't have apps or really have any desire for them, but we use his iphone a lot for photos since our digital camera quit working. The only other apple product we own is a handed-down ipod mini.
I am sure that I will want apps and books and such, so I would use the account more actively. In theory, I would prefer to have my own account for that reason. But, I'm wondering if we should share in order to transfer the photos easily. Will it be a good timesaver if we share itunes, or are we better off having our own accounts and transfering photos another way (email, photobucket, something else apple- specific I don't know about yet)? I'd rather avoid buying the camera conversion kit.
Re: Should I share an itunes account with DH?
My DH and I have one account on iTunes for his Nano, my classic, iPod touch, and iPad. I love it because it enables us to share the music that I buy (or visa versa on rare instances) very easily and the same goes for Apps. My DH doesn't buy music or at least not very often. But he'll often download the music I buy on to his device.
I can't imagine that using different accounts would gain you anything. It would just be a bigger PIA, I would imagine.
