So, I don't have an iPhone (I am in Canada currently, I live in NYC) I pretty much got most of the free apps I want, and I decided I wouldn't buy any apps, but there are some I really want.

1st question: If I buy the apps now, so they are ready when I get my iPhone, if they get updated during the 1-2 months, will I be able to get the new version for free?

I was thinking I shouldn't buy any, because a new app might be in development that is better than all the other ones.

2nd question: I have never owned an ipod or iphone, I have an imac and macbook though.

Will I be able to transfer the apps over to my iphone with out a problem?

And does anyone anticipate and price drops for the iphone in 2008?

Thanks for the help, I am a bit of an ipod/iphone newbie.

Why not just wait to buy them when you actually have the phone. And yes updates for the app's don't cost anything.

If you're planning on getting an iPhone in a couple of days, go ahead and buy the apps now. Yes you will be able to transfer them from 1 computer to the iPhone with no problem.

I don't anticipate any price drops ever to be honest, its already at a subsidized price and I can't see it getting any lower.

If you are buying an iPhone in a few months I would wait and buy the apps closer to the time when you will actually be getting the phone.

I think its already $200, if they dropped em any lower you'd have to sign a contract with AT&T + The Robot Devil for a looong time.
