...is there anything difficult about syncing the iPhone with my new macbook?

I remember the early generation iPods couldnt go between pc and Mac

any and all information would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Got an iMac for Christmas, been using it to sync iPhone. Works great. iCal is cool for syncing your calendar. Makes more sense to sync iPhone to iMac (or i-Anything)

I got a white one, and like you, I got a monitor to go with it to use it as a desktop when at home. This thing is great. I just can't believe how much more powerful this little guy is compared to my old 15.4" HP laptop running Vista. It's almost like night and day.

I just thought I'd provide another little update:

So far, I'm 95% satisfied with my switch to Mac. The only reason I'm missing that last 5% is simply due to the fact that I had been so used to Windows, and am just now dealing with the basic switch troubles. Nothing serious though, it's just different. I am however 100% happy with how well my iPhone syncs and how easy the data transfer to my new MacBook went. I can't believe how much better iTunes runs on a Mac, not to mention how much better EVERYTHING runs compared to my HP Vista powered laptop. If anyone out there is on the fence about switching, I say with complete confidence to go for it. I've been a lifetime Windows user, and I wish I would've switched sooner!

I thought it was just my imagination- iTunes does seem to run faster/better on a Mac.

My desktop is Windows and when I'm home, thats the one I primarily use.... with 1 exception- the season finale of Nip/Tuck.

When the time and money is right I will be happy to buy a macbook pro. At work I ship for customers their HP (mostly) or Sonys back to be serviced. When you see things like that it helps more and more to be part of the IGeneration.
