I have an old iPod Touch (1st Generation) which runs iOS 3.1.3, the latest possible for the device. It is synced to my Windows desktop PC. However a lot of apps are not fully updated because the newer versions are no longer compatible with iOS 3.

I am getting an iPad (3rd Generation) on launch day next week and will obviously need to sync it to my PC with fully updated apps, however, I also want to keep using my iPod Touch will all its apps too.

If I sync them both on the same PC without altering anything, the new updated apps for my iPad will overwrite the older ones currently backed up on my PC and they won't be compatible with my iPod Touch.

So would it possible to have two sets of apps on iTunes on one PC, one for the iPod Touch with its older apps and one with the new apps for the iPad?

When updating apps for my iPod Touch, I always do it using the device itself so I don't accidentally update an app that is no longer compatible with iOS 3. The solution I've come up with at the moment is to copy the iTunes folder on to my laptop and use that for one of the devices and use the desktop for the other. But would like to use just one PC if possible.

Can anyone advise?
