Default Changing settings from PC to Mac

I have not purchased the iPhone yet, waiting for 3G. However, when I do, I will initially be setting it up and syncing with my PC. Later this year, I will be purchasing an iMac as my main computer. Will this cause any problems with my future iPhone, or can it be "converted" from a PC to a Mac relatively easily?

I did the exact same thing. I set my iPhone up on a PC and I then got a Mac. The iPhone made the switch with no issues. Just make sure that you transfer your music to your new Mac otherwise the iPhone won't have any music to sync. It will say that it's going to erase all the music on your iPhone but that is normal, as long as you have music on the Mac to replace it with.

I too did the same thing. As Philip said transfer your music and you will be good to go. Mac's make everything much easier then PC's.

No issues, that's why I switched.
