So if I already use my @me.com account as my AppleID / iTunes login, I'm all set?!?

If I sign up for the iCloud @me address, am I able to change the ID name at a later date? I remember when creating an original mobileme account it would make a separate Apple ID that is not ever able to be changed but the account I made with my @gmail address is able to be altered. I'm referring to the username you log in with essentially.

I have an iPhone and an iPad. My parents each have their own iPhone. All are using my apple ID. All 4 devices are also using said apple store account for icloud. I have MobileMe and will use that as my iCloud on my iphone and ipad when I can. Question is will I need to make my parents each their own iCloud account because they have different personal emails and contacts calendars etc. Also would it be possible to use that app store account across all 4 ONLY for purchases and no syncing.

simply put, set them all up with their own iCloud accounts in the iCloud settings menu, in the store menu just enter your apple ID and then they can use the apps from your account.

Wow sounds simple enough when you put it that way. Thanks so much.
