iTunes & App syncing when you have two devices

[rampantandroid]

So, just nabbed an ipad last night...and had to do the damned OOBE to get it going, and in the process I allowed iTunes to sync apps; I also have an iPhone that I allow iTunes to sync apps with. Now, to my surprise, iTunes synced all my iphone apps to my ipad...which I don't want. I promptly removed the apps from my iPad; What happens now?

When I sync my iPad, will it remove the apps from iTunes? If so, what happens when I then sync my iPhone? How do I manage this?

Yes, the apps will be removed from iTunes if you select in the affirmative when the pop-up asking if you want to delete those apps from iTunes appears.

The correct method is to manually select which apps you want to sync in iTunes.

When I sync my iPad, will it remove the apps from iTunes?

No, of course not. They're removed from the iPad. They are maintained in your iTunes library, however, assuming they're apps you bought with iTunes (and not from the iPad's App Store app) or if you've synced the iPad since they've been installed after buying them from the iPad's App Store app.
