The update, here is what you need to do.

First, back up the device.

I suggest doing the update from the card. If you have a spare card, use it; otherwise, back the card up to the desktop and delete the contents of the card.

Next, follow the instructions for the update.

Next, after the update has been done, delete the contents on the card (those contents are the files necessary for the update) and then copy (not move) the files that were originally on the card back to the card.

Next, restore the device via hot sync from the desktop.

Restoring the device from a device based backup application can cause files to be overwritten that would be better off not being over written.

And yes, you can use the card your apps are on if those files are MOVED to the desktop.
