Sorry, I am not trying to jump to conclusions, I am just trying to understand. A device can only change the iTunes store account every 90 days, which for all practical purposes is a lifetime of hard labour ;-) I would be happy with only auto downloading from one account but how else do you get new stuff on (without syncing for the moment) without changing the store account? I would be happy to do this by syncing but I'm not sure how this will really work either. There is also the five account limit. And, as I currently have apps from more than one store (country) on my iOS devices I have to switch the store and account before I can download to update. No longer possible with one 90 day limit. I can admit I was wrong for using other country stores - it was just the temptation of getting some apps earlier and also the price of larger cost apps (e.g. Tom Tom Europe) varies quite a bit from store to store.
