How to use ipod touch when I already own an iphone on one computer?

I have a dilemma. when I try to setup my brand new ipod touch I got for xmas, it says i must setup it up as new device or restore from backup. the problem is I use this computer to sync to my iphone 3gs.
itunes wont let me sync to an ipod touch and an iphone on the same computer, its one or the other.
if i choose to setup as new device, then when I sync my iphone it says itunes is synced to another device and must wipe my iphone clean or restore from backup???
how do i use itunes so I can put movies n music on my ipod touch without it affecting my iphone?

"Note: iTunes for Windows does not support syncing multiple iPod devices at the same time."
exactly what do they mean when they say at same time? like i can not connect one device, sync it then connect another device and sync that one??
hence my dilemma. this is from that link i read.
i tried this and itunes fails
what a terrible dilemma, sigh
i connect the ipod touch and tell it to setup as new device.
i sync some movies and playlists.
easy enough
then i connect my iphone...guess what? it says this is a new device, would you like to setup as new or restore from backup!!!
if i restore from backup it puts the ipod touch playlists and all my contacts are gone
it seems the only way to do this is, from reading that link, to create a new user in windows, and use this new user profile to manage ipod touch.
so now i'm gonna have to siwtch back and forth between 2 windows accounts.
what a royal pain in the butt
why can't itunes just let me sync what i want to the device and not care what it has, so i can just add regardless if new or not.
god i hate itunes.

    Try the remaining items of:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
