Twall, I just did something like that although I bought a SJ22, when I installed the Sony Software it asks you if you want to assign the same user than you already have, choosing yes will load all your applications and information to your clie
But you'll need to Hard reset you IIIxc and asign a different user to avoid any conflict
Yes, and the only way I know to change the ID is hard reseting the device.
The 1st time you sync after resetting the software will ask you for the user name to be asigned to that device, at that point you can create a new one for you wife.
What I don't know is if you can use the same Palm Desktop for CLIE to Sync the IIIxe
