You can use iCloud address as your appleID. What will happen is you won't be able to switch for 90 days if you change your mind. But what will happen is, you can make purchases with your iCloud appleID, but when it comes time to update an app that was purchased with the old appleID, you will need to know the ID and password in order to update the app. So all new apps will be under the new appleID, but to update old ones, you will need to know the old apppleID and it's passwoprd. I know this works, cuase I do it now. ON my macmini, iPhone, and MacBook pro. nth
