Can you transfer purchased iPhone apps to 3G phone?

One question I and others have is if I buy from the App store and then later decide to upgrade to the 3G iPhone, will these apps transfer or do I have to buy Monkey Ball all over again?  Knowing how much Apple likes to sell things, I presumed the answer to be me digging into my pocket again.  But, no!

The consensus seems to be thanks to Fairplay, just like music, you can sync the apps to the new device using iTunes.  This is good news for those with the original iPhone who upgrade to 2.0 and can’t resist playing around with some new applications…it seems as if you can do so without fear of having to buy them all over again once you get a 3G.  And you know you will, every time you access the net over EDGE, you’ll feel slow and the short-bus is honking it’s horn just for you.
