HI I have an 8gb memory card (can get bigger if necessary) in a USB stick. I don't use a pc with my iPad but am waiting for the day it has all been wiped and says connect to iTunes, fingers crossed it does not! So am I able to install iTunes onto a memory stick and sync my iPad to it, but then at a later date move the same dongle to another pc and still sync, so therefore nothing is left on the host computer for instance if I did it at the library.
Can you think of a better way. I don't always get access to wifi and if I do it's another open network so not secure. I use 3G only and have not used cloud because I have no wifi access for long enough period of time.
Please any help or suggestions?

I'm afraid that you can't store your iTunes account on a memory stick to use on any convenient computer.
His page explains about authorized computers and your iTunes account.

Only authorized computers can synch with your iPad.
