iPhone b synced w/ 2 computers?

Apple iPhone - Can an iPhone be synced with two computers?

I have both a desktop and a laptop. Use the laptop frequently when I'm travelling. Because of this, I make calendar entries in Outlook, notes, etc. on both computers. Both are authorized with iTunes. I've been all around Apple's "help" (quotes denote heavy sarcasm on my part) labyrinth, and I can't seem to find out: Is there any way to be able to sync my iPhone with both computers?

The only things that above mentioned were calendar and notes. If those are the main things she wants to have in sync on an iPhone and two Macs, if she spent 99 bucks a year for MobileMe, wouldn't that take care of syncing those things without having to go through iTunes?

No - iPhone (and all iOS Devices) can only be synced with one iTunes library.

You can keep Outlook in sync via Google or MobileMe though...

You can sync between two computers with a couple of issues. Both must be the same operating system. Then one library master file gets copied to the other. If you want the same movies and music to not be deleted the libraries (containing music and videos) must match. Or it can be different it will delete the difference (plus side) fill the phone up at home, the laptop with everything thing else and sync. No messages about difference library

Or, as was previously stated, you can only synchronize with one *library*. So one possibility, depending on how the 2 computers are set up, is to set up iTunes so that the 2 computers share a single library.
