Before I start setting iCloud up, do I have this correct for a family setup?

Here's the situation:
Wife has iPhone 4S, new MBP running Lion, iPad2 running iOS5.
I have iPhone 4S, new iMac running Lion, iPad1 running iOS5.


Here's what we want:
Both want iCloud on our own devices to sync our own stuff (iCal, contacts, etc) with no cross contamination but want to share the same iTunes account so we are sharing the same apps and our single (and large) music library.


Here's what I understand from reading until my eyes popped out:
We each setup our own iCloud account with our own .mac addresses
We use the same login for the "Store" under settings (the one that has all the music and apps).


Did I get it correct?

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Cheers.

Yes. That is what we do but with .me accounts for iCloud and a separate iTunes account we share.

Thanks Mike! If I remember correctly, both .mac and .me are the same correct?

I believe so. When MM came out the .mac people could keep their .mac email addresses for MM. If you are one of those I assume you can do the http://www.me.com/move with your .mac id's and it will create you iCloud Accounts and iCloud Emails that same as .me. Others on here have talked about .mac accounts. You may want to read those threads.
