First of all, is it yet possible to Jailbreak on PowerPC? If so, disregard this topic.

If not...

I have a Windows machine I can use to jailbreak. I really only want to jailbreak for the custom themes, and other UI elements. My question is this...my contacts. I recently re-installed OS X this weekend, and all my contacts are on my phone...how do I get my contacts back onto my mac? in iTunes it wants to remove them, and start anew.

Secondly, if I successfully jailbreak from the PC, will my phone be forever synced to this PC? Or is this something I can alleviate with the jailbreaking process? If I go back to the mac, will it delete my jailbreak?

Long story short all this is what I want to do (If I cannot do it on my mac)

1. Get my contacts from phone to address book
2. Jailbreak iPhone on PC
3. Have it so that the iPhone can sync and backup successfully with my Mac

How do I do this?
